Need some help with some ET numbers
 
Am i missing something or is this just a lack of horsepower on the car or driver or what?

My mph when compared to a lot of others is low, even my 1/8 times is low but my 60 foot when compared to a lot of other high 12.9's and low 13's is low really low.

Average 60 for a high 12 is 1.9 to 2,01 mine is 1.76 to 1.87's. Also I am 2 to 3 mph off and also my 1/8 et is 2 to 3 10ths better than most others. I do not get this as my 1/8 mph is low and so is the 1/4 but my 60 are better than most and my 1/8th et is better than most but end 1/4 is not.

Can anyone take a stab at this or an explanation maybe.

Here is an example, on an et board for Mach 1's I am 27th on 60ft time and 33th on 1/8 et.
Here is where the issues start, mph 1/8 I am 59th and 1/4 mph I am 81st
Final 1/4 e.t. is 51st Base list of Machs has roughly 100 to 130 on lists. ( not all have put in all stats)

I would really like to solve this puzzle or at least understand it. Thanks

Why are you concerned about where you stand on an online list? Anybody can post anything they want... its the internet bud... 95% fantasy.

I thought the internet was true. Thanks for the heads up on the 95% true. lol (joke)

I am not worried about the list.:) I am concerned about the power or lack of it. They all can not be liars, I am down about 3 or 4 mph compared to the average. That is why I am asking and also as I would like to know. Thanks though.

That was me, I had arrived and yes was flat off the line as the car was way to hot, tranny was mushy, engine almost quit. I should not have run it down three times in a row from the hour and a half drive. First run I missed third, second missed 4th and third ran a 13.22

Cooled down and ran a 13.06 than a 12.97 and than a 13.06. Cooled right down and started messing up again so I packed it in.:)

I agree about the line and thanks for the observations. All the info helps.

Short time on the 12 sec pass was 1.769 I think good for a Nitto drag radial.
