Flying 1/4 mile racing

[efnfast]

Glen, was the 1/4 mile timed? Without doing the math, I'm guessing about 4 seconds.

Wow! That is awesome!
No way I could trust my Z at that speed, at least not yet. Have lots of work to go ....

So, what was your 1/4 mile time?

Extra cubic inches helps the top end. I did 168 this past year in a standing mile and that was with my gas pedal breaking during my shift into 4th gear. It broke the lever attaching to the floor and fell off sideways on the floor board next to the brake pedal. Hopefully this year I'll get a chance to see how fast we can go without a "problem". That was a little scary when it happened as I didn't know what it was until I finished and could look down.

Glen,
It was great to talk with you. Glad you called. Your ZR-1 is indeed running great and is obviously driven quite well too, 1/4 mile drags and top speed both! We are all proud of you for showing how the ZR-1 performs with a very stock engine, just what it was designed to do.

Best part is you had lots of fun :-)

We had 3 runs, but my gas pedal mount broke during the first run. I had to fix my car, so wasn't able to do the next two runs.
