ok so I don't know a lot about these drag racing terms. Is there a 1/4 chassis car too? Are these NHRA classes or something? I tried a quick google and wikipedia search and I couldn't get a good explanation

3/4 looks to be everything from the a-pillar on a tube chassis and back

if there was such a thing as 1/4 chassis, I think it'd be like unibody cars (like most imports) with the engine bay tubed out.

its how the load is distributed mainly, think of a chassis like a concrete house foundation, rediculously overbuilt, and a tube frame like a mobile home, take out one peice and the whole structure fails

this nigga is asking if 7.09 is impressive.

shoot.. at your level 7.09 in the 1/8th should be impressive

yea 7.09@193 with a somewhat stock front-end is impressive

stock suspension true 10.5( and some 9.5 now) is where its at. that and nhra stockers.

and hurleys setup is also called a back-half. not much of a point to 3/4 chassis unless its rules mandated to keep the front-end imo.
