I've never seen a drag race post an speed average?
If you got to 85 on your run, and you actually did a quarter I'd think you'd be in the 16 second range...
Well, depending on how technical you want to get, the trap speed posted next your elapsed time is an average of the last 66 feet of the 1/4mi strip.

Also directly comparing E.T.'s vs trap speeds is fairly inaccurate. My Caddy's best E.T. is only a 14.8, because it's heavy and FWD I don't get a good launch. However since there's about 320hp (with intake/exhaust work), the trap speed is high for that E.T. at 97mph.

you just drag? a good friend of mine races his Lexus and is ridiculous. he gets all these awards, and he wins basically every race he goes to in CT.

On the track your reaction time and launch is what makes or breaks you from posting good numbers.
How hard you can "hook up" to the track at the launch determines how heavy you can get into it to have your top speed at completion.
Top speed is almost irrelevant when on the track. It is a urination contest among you and your friends but it alone does not win the race. Reaction times, and actually understanding the infamous christmas tree lighting cycles and roll out for your specific vehicle is huge at the track.

It does help if your car can go fast...
I was at an open race a little while ago, and this guy decided to race his stock f-150. He won his first heat because the other guy's car died and they got a time. Since they spot you the difference between you car and other other guys, he almost won the whole night in a stock f-150. It was funny.

You should come down here to Wellington, FL during horse show season...a zillion duallys driven by chicks! (and for my job I drive my 3 work duallys occasionally for gas and with the horse trailers, but my personal vehicle is a Dodge quad cab 1500 v8).

They teach you this up Nort'
Don't mess with a chick in a truck....her man is probably twice the size of you!

have you seen the first couple of seasons of the office? Didn't Michael Scott drive a sebring convertible? In more recent episodes he had a PT Cruiser Convertible.
By the way, What about PT Cruisers? Can we include ALL OLD PEOPLE as an alternative to genders? If so, that's what the PT cruiser is... old people.

A company car which he chose. It kinda goes along with what I said also... generalizing by saying that sebring convertibles are for people like michael scott...
That's a situation where Dwight had good sense... he didn't want it when he supposedly ousted Michael and he offered Dwight the car.

Hahaha

Yeah, a few of my men could have fit in that category.
I'm also LMAO about the 1/4 mile posts in 10 and change! A while back I practically lived race cars (had a Trans Am and Camaros...was and am still in the South Florida F-Body Assn.). We went to Moroso all the time and other tracks around South Florida. My friends and boyfriends all have extremely heavily modded race cars (some street legal, some not) and 9's were REALLY fast! Sorry...can't buy your story about going 10's in your ride.
