Drag Racing Tech - drag racing newbie

Sup guys, I went to San Antonio Raceway and my best time was 15.42 @ 91.20 MPH and a 2.39 60 foot, 6.61 330ft.

My worst time was when my tires broke loose midrange 1st gear. I ran a 18.99 at 87.04mph and a 3.13 60 foot, 9.17 330 ft.

I was wondering why my MPH on my worst run was only a few lower than the best run. I was running down the track with the 3.42 open differential and the one tire broke loose (on the worst run) then let off the gas, then flooring it again and it downshifted and then eventually crossed the finished.

The question is, is my traction sucking on the best run too? I didnt feel/hear any spinning, and the MPH on the best run is nearly the same as the 18.9 sec run. WTF?

thanks.

Yep your 60' sucks on your best run too, well every run!! Seriously get that 60' down if you can. I can't answer why one was better than the other, other than the better 60' you get the better ET you would get. 60' makes no difference in your trap speed, usually it effects your ET. Trap speed is dependant on your HP and weight.
