...ever since the summer of 1973, I've been collecting each years' NHRA drag race class winners' ET and MPH numbers, so that I can analyze the "limiting" values of the constant power approximating equations:
ET = A * (WT/HP)^(1/3)
MPH = B * (HP/WT)^(1/3)
...where: A ~ 5.82 and B ~ 232, and A*B ~ 1350 to 1400
...I also collect yearly new car and road test 0-to-60 mph and quarter-mile elapsed times from magazines, ie: automotive "data mining."
