I notice that my trap speeds also have been lower when I run a drag tire and have good traction like many others....
However you can also spin so much that you start loosing trap speed too. He did say he was spinning past the 60ft. On those 20s, he might be "spinning"through 2nd and 3rd too....meaning his tires where just slipping a little, not enough to really hear or notice it, but enough to keep his momentum down.
