**Sporty"s World Record 7.15 Video**
Taken from www.prsportcompact.com
1.1645 = 60 ft
3.0250 = 330 ft
4.5700 = 660 ft
5.9349 = 1000 ft
7.1516 @176.3578 1/4 mile
Apparently, the engine "shut off" around the 1000FT area.

Not a very good 60ft due to a bad launch. The car bogged down a little but once it came on it really did. The 330ft time shows how quick the car recovered from a bad 60ft. The 330ft time is more what you would get with a 1.07 to 1.10 60ft.
From there on to the 1000ft mark all times indicated a very quick run or at least quicker than the norm. Would have been nice to see the 1/8 mph though. The low trap speed/mph at the 1/4 could have been from the little bog off the line or he could have lifted or shut it down early. Sometimes a bog of the line results in that because you basically have less track/time to travel down the track once the motor recovers from the bog or it could have been what Ito suggested.
Anyways it was a record setting time from a not to pefect run. We can only imagine if it was a text book run.
Congrats again to the entire Sporty crew!

I've heard a few 1/4 mile run explanations (from different cars), never heard one as informative as yours

Sporty new mph record

The above video shows the huge bog from the hole. Nice MPH to back up his earlier run though.
Can't wait to see this thing on a perfect run.

Hey Russ, not much for spec's but you can check out my thread for some pics and video's. I'll post the dyno sheet when I have it.
