i was looking at that 60ft as well  congratulations!

i like the swedish word for speed = hastighet, as 'haastig' in dutch means 'in a hurry', which he obviously was 

[Christiano]

Awesome! Congrats on the achievement Leif!

Everytime I see you guys cutting 1.1X on the 60ft it makes me worry even more about my car when finished and ready to get back racing.
You guys gotta tell me the trick for these 1.1X you're cutting all the time

Hi Chris

so many things I think, but clutch set up & control is probably the most important single thing for me

Thanks guys, it was a good run, not perfect but good..

Congrats , good work.  I think one reason of the 60" is that the car is a little longer than others ? Am i right ?

Udo I don't think that will change 60ft times, start beam and 60ft beam are activated by front tyre so length of car makes no difference

silly question prehaps, but how about the rest of the measurements? is that front wheel as well? i am assuming quarter mile isn't…

ps in Richie's case it used to be front wheel start and back wheel 60ft  (but i may have heard some rumors about that coming back as of september 10th  )

Assuming you are on all 4 wheels it's the first thing to hit the beams. Tire or T-bar

Assuming you are on all 4 wheels it's the first thing to hit the beams. Tire or T-bar 

60ft beams are low down [typically about 50-60mm ]like startline beams so its not T bar or front of car that will trip them, usually bottom of  front tyre but sometimes like Nicolas mentioned its rear tyre  

Finish line beams are higher so trip of front of car so long front section will trip it sooner

cheers Richie
