    15.741 @ 85.79

    Yes, that's right. That officially makes me the quickest all-motor Protege in North America. It took me a while to get used to launching with the Azenis, but they worked great(thanks Mike_Moss, you da man), but once I was hooking up, I was doing great. Here's the details.

    r/t .683
    60' 2.257
    330' 6.478
    1/8 10.027 @ 68.90
    1000' 13.117
    1/4 15.741 @ 85.79

    My best reaction time of the day was .525, and never had one over .699. I got there late, and didn't have enough time to get many runs in before eliminations. I made it to the second round, then red-lighted.

    Pretty sad that the quickest AM Protege is only 15.7 though. At this rate, I'll definitely be in the 14s by the end of the year.

    15.7 isnt horrible for a car with under 120hp.

        your 1/4 time is fast for an 85mph pass. my 15.5 was at 88mph but im an escort not a protege. even my low 16 passes wher in the 86-87 range but i was having traction issues in 2nd gear it seemed. you must have had traction the whole way down the track! great job man

          My trap speed is actually slower than the last time I was at the track. Last time out, I did 15.97 @ 86.25, and my best trap speed was 86.66. I was getting 2.45 60' times. This time out, I had Falken Azenis, which liked the heat. I was getting 2.25 60' times, but because of some front end damage, my hood pops up at 60mph, and gives me huge wind resistance. (it pops up like I pulled the latch, but the safetly level keeps it from flying up still). So that's why I think my trap speeds were down. When I fix my front end, I should be over 87mph.

            Good job man, my best run was a 16.7@84MPH @~ 4,000 feet w/ the F gearbox.....

            I still need to learn to launch my car so I don't spin 'em all the way through first, that and get a decent set of tires instead of whatever I can find used for cheap lol......

                      That's cool. I still have the quickest all-motor Protege in North America. I don't drive an Escort you know.....

                          Thanks man, I can't wait to break the 14s too. Hopefully by the end of the summer. I hope I'm paving the way for the rest of you guys, since a lot of this is going to be first time stuff. So hopefully we'll all learn as we go.

                            that 15.2 guy sent me a video of it and it was the blurriest video off a diggy cam i have ever seen! it also began with him chirping 2nd gear and they never showed a time on the video that was clear to read. he is no longer a poster on the forum and has not answered any pm's or emails i have sent him since then. so as moderator of that forum i confirmed its load of BS. the fastest n/a egt is a guy runnign a 14.01 he has video that is clear and he has a built motor. my 15.5 was on a 100% stock motor with a open air filter and a welded to stock exhaust muffler.

                            don't get me wrong here your time is great but i bet street tires will let you go faster. i ran DR's and bested at a 16.02 when i got soem street tires other then my 18's i got faster.
