Nice run!

Question....Both cars ran virtually identical times all the way down the track (ignore the RT) but your trap speed was almost 20 mph higher.

I can understand a few MPH but what would explain 20 mph? Did the other guy jump on brakes at the end?

I noticed that too. Op picked up almost 30 mph in the last 8th and the other guy picked up 5 mph, but the et's seem right. Oh well, congrats to the OP, great time and mph.

The other car also ran 5mph faster in the 1/8th so he definitely nailed the brakes at the end..........

Or since it was a mustang he probably ran out of gear.

3500 rpm and you were sub 1.6 on the sixty foot. Gives me hope that next time out I can get my 60' down a lot more with some practice.

yea...3500 launch...1st i have ever launched that high...next time out i'll try around 4000...

3500 is where my car wakes up...so i think that is why i hit a good 60'...i usually hit a 1.73-1.85 when i launch 2800 or below...
