I went to the drag strip last night.
Well, I took my stock 2000 Bonneville SSEi to the strip last night. Why? Two reasons: 1. I wanted to see how fast she would really go. 2. People were saying "Bonneville'* aren't fast," etc. and I had enough of the trash talking. So, after every other Japanese and German car I went with came back disappointed, I was still smiling. Bonneville'* rock!
My runs are as follows (at Luskville Dragway in Luskville, Quebec):
15.441 sec @ 71.925 mph (I had never been to a strip before so I started to braking before I crossed the quarter mile line. Grr. But, I still won.) Reaction Time: 0.963 sec
15.110 sec @ 92.224 mph
Reaction Time: 0.825 sec
15.069 sec @ 92.659 mph
Reaction Time: 1.456 sec
15.130 sec @ 92.178 mph
Reaction Time: 1.118 sec
Just thought I would share my excitement with all of you.
Edit: Name of Strip & Reaction Times Included (And, yes, my reaction times are terrible.)
BTW - I have timeslips to confirm that all of the information I have stated is authentic.

Great times! Congrats on your first dragstrip experience, I love taking the Chevelle out once and a while.
Now, if you get hooked, the car will start the mod process

Reaction times don't effect ET'*. It'* nice to have a low R/T, but they only matter if you are bracket racing where they do then count in the E/T.

The one factor that will have the largest affect on 1/4 times are launches. Speaking of, Galaxy, how were your 60 foots?

Wish I knew.
You know man, I have no idea.
This is what the timeslip says:
Dial-in: .00
Reaction: 1.456
I1: 2.400
I2 : 6.692
MPH (I3) : 73.585
I4 : .000
E.T. : 15.069
MPH : 92.659
WIN
Maybe you can decipher this information better than I can?!?
