Russel, take a look at the picture carefully. And then try to realize why this post doesn't have a sticky on it and why everyone on the board isn't jumping up and down with joy.

I used my turbo timer which has built in 1/4 mile mode at the drag strip to see how accurate it is. The one time I used it, I ran a 13.5 @ 101 on the slip. The TT had my running a 12.9 @ 107. FWIW, timers like those will get you in the vicinity of what you're really running, but are almost always too fast. Every G-Tech story I've heard has them running .2-.7 seconds too fast when compared to drag strip timeslips. Atleast it looks like you have a 14 second car. :D

Stop using GTech's, bring your car to the track and post time slips. Otherwise you didn't really run the times you post.

Nahhhhh, you didn't beat me!
I counted out loud how many seconds, and got a 12 flat @ 110 (I think I saw 110...on the speedo.)
