Default Anyone ran the 1/4 mile?

I'm interested in real life times, not magazine numbers. Anyone done it?

Going to my local track after the engine breaks in and racks up a few thousand miles.

This seems to be the best stock run so far.

EKANOORACING's 2015 RCF Runs 12.58@ 181KM/H (113MPH) - YouTube
to be fair...thats also the best prepped track, maybe, in the world. EKanoo owns it and has used it to break various records in different classes. they just broke the GTR record with a 7.2X pass which is over 2 tenths faster than what AMS has run in the states.

unfortunately, dragtimes.com's database is down so i cant find the real world times from various owners.

Yea, I have been following them on Facebook, they seem to break a record with a new car almost every other week! They definitely know what they are doing though, and can surely make a car quick.

I would love to know how the hell he launched so quickly and smoothly in that video. I've tried almost everything and can't get the car to launch smoothly. I always get either too much wheel spin or hop. Anyone have some tips?

do you all do a standing burnout before launching? Soft rubbers need a good warm up to be sticky

I've made multiple passes stock. Fastest was 12.84@110ish, launched @2000rpm, had multiple 12.9 runs, car was hooking fine on those days. I havent seen anyone duplicate the times in the video above. Only a couple passes since my catback, best was 12.79@112ish, launched from idle because car was limited by traction/track prep when I tried to launch above idle. On another note, saw a timeslip of 11.4 at 121 on a nitrous RC F, very tempting.

Need to get 60 ft in low 1.9x
Did you do burn out to warm up the tires? Lower tire pressure to gain traction?
