"How fast is it"
When you're talking about muscle cars, hot rods, import tuner cars, etc., no other performance measurement defines the North American car scene quite like 1/4 mile drag-strip E.T.'s (elapsed times, for those of you outside the loop). And any self-respecting hot rodder will tell you that winning a drag race is all about the launch. The first 60 - 100 feet of any drag race will typically decide the outcome. Since there's no drag strip around Lethbridge, the Street Wheelers have created the 100 foot dash event. Itís the closest thing (legally) to real drag racing around these parts.

What is the 100' Dash?
Briefly, vehicles are timed across a 100' distance, using electronic timing equipment. Vehicles begin the course from a standing start, and, upon the appropriate signal, accelerate as quickly as possible to the finish line. Vehicles are grouped into classes depending on what variety of performance enhancing equipment is installed on the vehicle. Vehicles will qualify in their respective class by posting one of the five fastest ET's (in their class) during "qualifying" rounds. The five fastest vehicles in each class will then proceed to a final round, where the fastest ET of the round will determine the winner in each class. Winners in the top classes typically post E.T.'s under 2 seconds, and attain speeds of over 60 MPH (100+ kilometers per hour).
