the cars should have been around 100-105 but if all you do is spin the tires the whole 60' your not gonna have a good et or 60' or trap speed. thats what i think. you cant make up the speed you lost form tire spin.

In response to the posts about elevation not effecting the ET and trap speeds the calculated DA was over 3600 that night. THAT would account for dragging the ET and trap speeds down. If it was just MY vette that was sucking then it might be the car but neither of us even got close to a 13.99 at that track. Punch our numbers into a DA calculator and it drags both our times down into the 13s where they should be and adds almost 4mph that I lost.
After DA conversion:
13.96 @ 100.5 mph
