Default Re: ET with and without wheelie.

Let look at a car that has a frontal area of 25 sq ft and runs 12.0 @ 113.14, 60 Foot ET = 1.7851 - MPH = 40.09

If the wheel stand cause the frontal area to increase to 50 sq ft (doubles), but you can't use any added wheel thrust then 60 Foot ET = 1.7872 - MPH = 39.98 MPH

PS Let add that the 1.7851 60 foot number is with 12 inches of rollout. With 6 inches of rollout the 60 foot time would be 1.8532
