Drag racing acronyms...

[prostock1]

"3/4" race cam

"Corvette Engine"

Don't know what they mean, but the people that use these terms don't either

[jw33]

"No prep race" = we don't give a fuck and aren't cleaning up shit, deal with it.

[4bangen]

that's if it doenst get rained out.

GLE,

Gene losses everything, as you all will see Jersey Barriers will be set up at the end of the Drag Strip per court order. If another car comes on to the Kart track, no more drag strip.

They have a big no prep race scheduled this weekend so it probably won't take long to test them.

RT - Reaction Time
ET - Elapsed Time

When bracket racing, you have to put your predicted ET somewhere on the car, usually in white letters on the glass. Sometimes the ET it will spell out DIAL or DIAL IN.

60' is the amount of time to travel the first sixty feet of the track
330' is half of an eighth mile pass
660' is an eighth mile
1320' is a quarter mile

Your MPH at the end of the eighth and quarter mile is not based on a radar gun at the end of the track. It's a calculation of how long it takes your car to travel the last 66 feet of the track. Early on, NHRA used to calculate speed based on the amount of time it took to pass 66 feet before, and 66 feet after the stripe (132 feet / 10% of the track length). As cars got faster, the NHRA removed the need to keep accelerating past the end of the quarter mile to get trap speed and we're left with the speed calculation across 66 feet.

I'm putting this here because I've wanted to ask questions before but thought I'd look dumb doing it. When I got my '12 Mustang, the S197 forums had members saying, "I can't wait to go FI" and "I'm saving up for FI." I was confused. Aren't all these cars fuel injected? That's when they told me they meant Forced Induction! That still seems like an overly simplistic term for something that could mean anything from a 4-71 roots blower to twin 118mm turbos. To them, going "FI" also seemed to infer all the fuel system and engine changes to make it work and live.

But I digress. Feel free to ask anything you want. How else are you going to learn?

46T is correct...never heard of NO

Thanks for the input.

I've also seen DS which stands for Deep Stage. Some classes allow you to roll past the first beam which gives you a faster reaction time but slower ET. It's also what the blue lamp on the top of the tree is for.
