I am contemplating taking my car to the strip. I have one nearby, they have a 1/4 mile and 1/8 mile strip. I have no clue what to expect as I've never done it before. My real concern is should I attempt it with the set up I have. With a 3:73 rear and 3 speed auto, I fear I'd be tacking way to high for 1/4 mile. At 60 miles an hour, I am tacking at 3,000. I'd rather not risk damaging the engine for a few seconds of fun. Maybe try out the 1/8 first?
