Just for fun if anyone wants, post your guess for the quarter mile ET & MPH of my 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII here. I have raced the car a few times back in 2009 at Brainerd International Raceway, although that was just with the regular street tires that did not hook up at the dragstrip. Brainerd's elevation is 1200'. I also raced the car once in 2012 at Portland International Raceway with the slicks, but that was 1/8 mile. I'm not sure of the elevation at Portland, but probably close to sea level. The car is all stock except for the 26"x 8" slicks, which are required by Hot Rod for Dragweek. Just a hint, I did weigh the car back in 2009 at BIR and it weighed between 3945-3980 lbs. with me in it ( I'm about 200lbs with helmet
). It likely will be a little heavier than that Sunday & Monday at Dragweek because I took advantage of filling the car with gas before the prices went up last Hurricane, forgetting I wanted a lower fuel level when I hit the track first day. The car has 234,000 miles on it. I have in my notes that the elevation at Cordova, the first track we stop at, is 600', although I don't remember where I got that figure, may or may not be accurate.
