Trap speeds

How fast are you suppose to run with a trap speed of 98- 100mph. Does anyone have the website to a place that can tell me this? By the way my car ran 15.0 at 99mph

that is a WAY high trap for a 15 flat. you can go pretty far into the 13's and still not break 100. My buddys GN runs 13.7 @ 97... Another friend has a CRX that runs 13.9 @ 100 on the gas

Thats true, but remember launch as well. If you get a sh!tty launch but still get up to speed you'll run a higher time.

I would guesstimate that with a 15 sec 1/4 mi run you would be in the high 80's for your trapspeed. Remember that is a guessimtation.

15.8 I ran a trap speed of about 85 mph.....

sounds like you need to get some slicks on that car trap speed is higher when you spin off the line

the Trap speed is a pretty good idea of horsepower. You are probably making just slightly more power than I am. Those ET's are way low, but still a nice trap speed.

yeah you guys are right. My tires spins all the way through first gear and alittle on second gear. I get no traction at all on first. The tires just spins out too much.
