I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Never ran 1/8 track (other than flashlight drags). I don't even remember my time/mph at the 1/8th. 12.70 @ 108.xx mph was my best 1/4.

I found a 12.90 1/4 slip and I ran a 8.35 @ 88.60 in the 1/8th. The 12.70 slip is in the glove compartment.

An 8.0 would probably be in the 90s for mph. You'd be in the high 11s low 12s I'd think. Depending what your topend was like. My car was strong in the 1/8 but fell off in the tail end.

From a 1/4 mile slip, I ran a 8.593 at 89.19mph in the 1/8. That run netted me a 13 at 112mph. The first half of the track is not my strong point(2.16 60 foot and slipping clutch), a new clutch and some sticky tires would help me out tremendously.
