He said he doesn't grudge race, it was one of the first things I asked him.
I have seen things like bracket slips have lower than normal traps though, I know cars like his they come out with a stalled auto spraying off the line and have super great pass and make all there momentum in the first half of the track. But all I am saying from the cars I have seen run that kind of et (even a glide car on spray) mph a little better.
It's fine though thought I would at least ask if I didn't know. No big deal

You honestly think a bottom 9s car is going to only have a 113 trap accelerating with gear the whole 1/4?

That thing must be as gutless up top as Hio's 1.26 60 car running a 10.7

My 1/8th MPH is a pretty fair amount higher than my 1/4 mph.

Agreed, these trucks are a lot of fun. Not right now, just getting the truck squared up with what it has already to begin with.

Hence me asking what is going on. And if it were a grudge thing. Read what I asked.
All you guys say you know what's going on but can't even give me a answer.
Like I said before no biggie, if a car runs good for what it is there is no reason to hide anything. Is what it is

It should be common sense to anybody who has ever raced before what is going on in his slips.

He said he races NT 1/8th. NT = No Time

Here is your answer. He only runs 1/8th mile.... this happened to be a 1/4 mile track.

Thanks, I had seen 8th mile slips with no 1/4 info. And when he posted a full 1/4 slip, and was just covering the 1/8 it looked like he was showing a full 1/4 pass.
Not alot of 8th mile going on up here so I wasn't familiar.
