Sounds like fun, Bradentons a nice track. With some practice hopefully you can watch your e/ts drop.

 

Hmmm, I find it odd that your ET got worse as your trap speed went up. It should be the other way around. The trap going up by 2-3 mph should be a drop of a few tenths.

 

I find that sometimes a higher trap speed just indicates that he was spinning at the line or when shifting gears. The trap should actually drop off slightly with a better sixty.

 

Yes. Blue is right, the better traction you have the lower you will trap.

 

That isnt always true.

My car trapped/ETd for crap until i got some decent tires on it.

and by decent i mean i had bald 245 all seasons that where all over the place and then put on 28x9 ET Drags

 

My stack of timeslips here says that a better 60 ft does not affect the trap speed one way or another. It stays pretty much constant (accounting for the weather, of course).

 

Thats cool every car is different. I have 2 slips. Each was an 11.9 run (Run at different dates). On the first slip I only trapped 117 and on the other I trapped 120. The only real difference on the slip was the sixty time.

 

Different dates could mean different weather conditions.
DAMN that thing pulls hard on the top for a 4-banger! My V8 will need the giggle gas to run like that. And 1.73 is a pretty damn good short time for a FWD.[/hijack]

 

it seems a lot more common for turbo cars to have a higher MPH if spinning down low due to getting into the power band later.

 

In my Cobra it DEFINATLY effected it... I ran one time with a trap of like 3-4mph faster while running almost the same time, but with a better 60" on another run... I forget the slip, but one was like 12.200 with a 2.0 60" at 118mph and one was a 12.22 with a 1.8 60" and at 115mph... There were a few other guys there with the same crap, because that's where I first heard that...
