17.939 (within .008 of my record)
Friday night, my father was fortunate enough to get it on video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKjREZMauNA
Ran against a Ford Fiesta and got:
17.939 (my record is 17.931)
124.51 km/h (77.37 mph)
.751 RT
2.710 60 foot
Having weather of 52F, 29.85 air pressure and 32% humidity helped.
I later did break the 125 km/h barrier, and this is a speed record. You might be wondering why I can get a speed record and not the fastest time. This is because for most of the run down the track the vehicle is much slower, and then suddenly in the last part of the 1/4 mile run it suddenly picks up speed, hence a faster km/h or mph, but your ET (elapsed time) doesn't forget the fact that you were slow down much of the track.
Another analogy, I run at 20 mph down 75% of the track and in the last 25% I hit the nitrous button and it says 75 mph, but my time is like 30 seconds.

18.173
125.01 (77.68 mph)
.505 RT (.500 is perfect)
2.954 60 foot
Saturday update, virtually same weather, 55F, 29.86 air pressure, 33% humidity, a 17.959 and an 18.010 but no closer. My RX300 seems to be able to hit the 18.0s in competition at will.
Keep in mind, the trap speed, or km/h is the more indicative of the horsepower under the hood, not the time I get.

A very nice thing occurred yesterday.
I won the Super Bracket for the Mexico City area that occurred yesterday at Tlalnepantla. I had to defeat 4 cars in the 15 second and slower group and then defeat 1 VW Caribe (like an old Golf) who was the champion of the 15 second and faster group. My friend Mario just sent me the pictures. There must have been more than 40 cars that showed up. I earned about $230 USD in prize money. Pure reaction, .500s to .600s Mexican crowd hated it
but my little RX300, the track staff and I loved it, especially the last race where I clocked an 18.203 and my dial in was an 18.200. That is like less than the length of a finger distance off of what 18.200 is.
I had one warm up run against that I took a video of (daytime) from my driver's view, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQFGAJrStMc
If you don't recall the bracket racing I discussed earlier, it was here, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=219107
