1/4 Mile Times

[RUSS74GHIA]

I'm sure I'm not the only owner on here to have taken their Ghia up the Quarter Mile, so I thought I'd start like a league table.

Copy and paste the list into your reply and add your time and details in order. I'm looking to improve on this in 2014 as I'm rebuilding up to 2109cc with an increase in compression ratio.

I'll start:

I now have a turbo on the same engine with EFI, so plan to give it another try at the drags soon. I'll report back on how that goes.

[RUSS74GHIA]

Same here, mine's still in bits waiting for more machining work to be completed. Won't know until April how she'll do in the track, but I should get an idea from the dyno in March.

It seems a long way off, but I know how time flies.

Should we put Eric Madsen's Snoopy on here -- just to put something out there for all of us to shoot for???? I think he is #5 on the all-time fastest ACVW door slammers list

8.67@168.84

One of the best drivers and an excellent car , defines the word " BAD". Mike McCarthy

I would also like to add from Austria is a car called MeXXSpeed -- The guy is mainly on the Cal-Look Forum and builds everything for the car including clutches and engines -- he is a NA with squeeze at almost 3 Liter and has run 9.7 at 243 Kph - Do a search for MeXX and see some of his stuff

[RUSS74GHIA]

So, the table's beginning to fill up a little:

8.67 @ 168.84 Eric Madsen
9.307 @ 117.80 Mexx N2O
11.17@119 Mike McCarthy 58 Ghia 2275 N/A Tube Chassis
16.01 @ 82.20 Russ74Ghia 1914cc
16.23 @ 79.5 Greg '70 Ghia 1776cc dual Kads

Thanks for everyone's input.

Will....after going to the Formula 1 track in Austin on Sat., and seeing that I'm at the bottom of the list, I feel more motivated to get to the drag strip soon!

[RUSS74GHIA]

A little update after Bug Jam 28.

Please feel free to add your times in, I'm sure there must be more than 5 of us who've run on a strip.
