You will be pretty much topped out just past the 1/8 mile point. Might want to call them and see what safety equipment you need, on most of the asphault tracks down here you have to have a leather jacket and boots above the ankle.

Your best bet is to call the track you are going to be running at and ask them. Every track down here is slightly different on the rules so it's best to confirm them before you head out.

Don't know what kind of times you will run but it sounds like a lot of fun. I want to do that with my Banshee when I get a chance. I will probably change the gearing a little though.

Your 1/4 mile times will most likely be in the 16 second or higher range, most likely mid to low 16's. Quads can do the 1/8 mile pretty well but you really aren't accelerating much after that point.
