Mr Gasket Desktop Dragstrip Computer Software -new- on 2040-parts.com

The DeskTop DragStrip is the world's first easy-to-use vehicle dynamics program that accurately stimulates the complex physics at work in 1/8- and 1/4-mile drag racing.  And you can leave your physics books on the shelf because the DeskTop DragStrip lets you build any imaginable vehicle using simple pull-down menus!  Use any horsepower and torque curve, any transmission, select a clutch or automatic, use front- or rear-wheel drive---you can even use jet or rocket power!  Then simply press the "DRAG" button to begin an accurate simulation graphing vehicle performance, inch-by-inch, throughout the entire 1/4 mile race (screen approximates a professional data-acquisition display).  Analyze the results.  Try different components.  Make back-to-back tests.  If you own the DeskTop Dyno, you can even change engine components and measure their effects of elapsed times and top-end speeds.

Easy-to-use, accurate and fun!  The DeskTop DragStrip "turns your PC into a private race fabrication shop and test track."  Make a pass in your dream machine today!

Features:

• Accurate, vehicle-dynamic simulation
• Simulates the 1/4 or 1/8 Mile performance for any automobile, motorcycle, or dragster
• Graphs clearly show engine RPM, transission input rpm, acceleration, tire speed, vehicle speed, and aerodynamic drag throught each 1/4 mile pass
• Displays final ET, MPH, plus elapsed times for 0-60 ft., 0-330 ft., 0-660 ft., 0-1000 ft., 0-1320 ft.
• Also displays vehicle speeds at 60, 100, 330, 660, 1000 feet and at the end of the race.
• Change components and run back-to-back 1/4- and 1/8-mile tests in just seconds.
• Millions of possible vehicle combinations from easy-to-pull down menus.  Also, enter your own vehicle specs.  Evaluate and tune:
  • Any Engine Power Curve
  • Desk Top Dyno Engine Files
  • 1- to 6-speed Transmissions
  • Clutch or Torque Converter
• Rear-Axle Ratios
  • Motorcycle Primary Ratios
  • Vehicle Weight
  • Wheelbase
  • Front or Rear Driving Wheels
  • % Weight On Driving Wheels
  • Frontal Area
  • Aerodynamic Drag
  • Driving Tire Widths
  • Static & Growth Tire Diameters
  • Tire Traction
  • Launch & Shift Rpms
  • Redline Rpm
  • Shift Times
  • Rollout Staging Distance
  • Ambient Temperatures
  • Wind Speed
  • Humidity & Elevation
• Save and retrieve DeskTop DragStrip tests.  Run side-by-side comparisons.
• Compatible with (but does not require) DeskTop Dyno engine simulation.

System Requirements:

• IBM-compatible computer with 640 Kbytes of RAM minimum, hard disk not required.
• 3.5-inch floppy disk drive
• DOS, version 5.0 or later (Window not required but fully supported).
• VGA or better graphics required to access all program features.
• Although program will operate without a numeric coprocessor, one is recommended (speeds simulation from 10 to 100 times).  All 486DX and Pentium systems have numeric coprocessors.  Most other systems can be upgraded.  Ask your computer dealer for more information.
• A mouse is not required but supported.
• A printer is optional; needed only for drag test printouts.

This software is on a 3.5 Floppy Disk.  Please make sure that this is compatible with your computer.
