A lot of places have 1/8 mile tracks. They dont have a full sized strip, so they use empty parking lots and such. San Diego is that way. We have legal 1/8 mile racing on weekends down at the charger stadium. It may not be full 1/4 mile, but its a lot safer then doing a 1/4 on the street.

Rep Power: 414 Alright boys. Settle down. CivicRacer5, if you need someone to host the slip i can get it posted. Injencivic, give the guy a chance. I have yet to see this guy lie. He doesn't strike me as a black99vtec wannabe.

Rep Power: 0 All of the little independent tracks in Tennessee are 1/8 mile because they can't afford the insurance for 1/4 mile racing anymore...
10.60's are pretty stout for 1/8th mile in an LX
note to injencivic: you need to get down to Knoxville Dragway on Thursdays when it is sport compact night. We went this week and there were about 500 cars there

Rep Power: 0 Yep. Most of the tracks here are 1/8 miles and people build their cars for that. It's a whole different ball game than 1/4 mile. Huntsville and Sand Mountain are both 1/8 mile tracks. If you're used to 1/4 mile, when you first see the times it's ridiculous, until you realize the track length.

Rep Power: 0 Back home the first drag strip that opened was 1/5 mile at Winfield West Virginia. That's cause they counldn't find enough flat ground to build a 1/4 mile and shut down room in that area.

my best time in the 1/8mile was a 10.42 at 66.86mph, with a 2.495 60ft, and a terrible 1.022 R/T. Yeah i killed the R/T pretty bad, but on a run later that night i had a .502 R/T...so i didnt feel too bad after that.
mid 10's arent hard to get in our car with a good driver. I have AEM CAI, and the HKS hiper exhaust...thats it in terms of performance.
Cheers~

Rep Power: 0 Sorry everyone i lost my timeslips, but i am going back either wednesday or friday and i will be sure to save my time slips, and i gurantee i will run a better time, because i found out my K&N FIPK was not secured to the throttle body tightly because the rubber boot had loosened up and it was causing air to leak out and not get sucked in to the throttle body as much. I will run better than a 10.6 this time. I will post my new timeslips as soon as i get home from the track!!

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS......I THOUGHT WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION????
SI DON'T MEAN THAT MUCH MAN. AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A GOOD1/8 TIME IS BUT DON'T CALL BS ON SO LITTLE INFO.
YOU GO GET YOUR SI AND PAY 5000 MORE I''LL STICK WITH MY (IN MY OPINION AND MOST OTHERS) BETTER LOOKING DX. SURE I GIVE UP A GOOD # OF HP, BUT THINK ABOUT THE EXTRA MONEY TOWARDS MODS. OR A TURBO. HELL IF YOU'RE MECHANICALLY INCLINED....DROP A NEW ENGINE IN FOR 5000.
DONT BS.......HE SOUNDS FOR REAL
