I made my 1/4 mile run at the track tonight

Fabulous! It’s what I would do. There’s always the front seat and your light friend ! Floor mats. Motorcycle battery. Carbon fiber wheels. Race rubber. Windshield wipers. License plates. Skid plates?

I think raising the speed limiter would make the difference.

I learned that removing the tailgate disabled all cameras.

Removing the rear seat made the truck phone home and Ford sent me notices that my rear seat restraint systems required immediate service.

I removed the spare, the back seats, running boards, tailgate and rollup bedcover. I forgot to fold in the mirrors. Charge level was 95%. I ran 40 psi front and 45 psi rear. That's what it took to get a 12.26.

Well done - did the 0-60 sprint get recorded as 3.8 seconds or so?

1.914 [Short Time] aka [60 foot time] starting line to 60 foot mark.

Amazing - so the racetrack surface traction is key!

That is incredible - will mention it going forward whenever people ask about the Lightning - plus how it wins the Pikes Peaks Climb race

Sorry, the 0-60 mph time was not 1.914 seconds. (we could only hope)

The 60' shown on drag time sheet is how long it took for the truck to go the first 60 feet. That was 1.914 seconds.

The zero- 60 mph was not recorded.

Also, the R/T time is Reaction Time. That's how long it took for the driver to get the truck moving after the light turned green.

Let’s just say it was 1.9 to see the CT boys lose their shit

Ahhh tunnel vision bites my ass again ...... proper drag racing doesn't reference 0-60 MPH but as you know well "Short Times" ie 60 foot sprint was what I was thinking.

Maybe a 2025 MME sets a new record - this seems a bit dated:

" The fastest automobile in 2015 was the Porsche 918 Spyder, which is a hybrid vehicle that takes 2.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph.[2][3]

In June 2021, the Tesla Model S Plaid was measured to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 1.98 seconds, not including first foot of rollout.[4]

0 to 60 mph - Wikipedia

For a mere $2.2 million, the 1,914 horsepower Rimac Nevera does a 1.74 second 0-60 with an 8.25 second quarter mile time.

The Nevera has a top speed of 275 mph. It also holds the world record for top speed in reverse of 171 mph.

0-60 MPH [IS NOT] protocol in 1/4 or 1/8 mile drag racing, the topic of the thread.
