OK, I know I'm not the fastest stock SRT-6. I also know, I'm not making a whole lot of progress getting my times down to 13.0. I'm pretty sure it's all in my launch. I'm spinning out every time. I guess I need to be less aggressive with the throttle at first. But at least I'm getting better at the tree. I had 0.0765 R/T and 0.0895 R/T tonight. Which is much better than the 1.0-something I was getting 3 weeks ago. So I guess progress is progress!

Anyway, aside from chronicling my racing learning curve, I do actuall have a question:

Looking at my time slips from tonight (below) can anyone speculate on why my ET wasn't much better, but in some cases I gained 2 mph in trap speed?

TIA.

OK! The above runs happen to include my absolute best AND worst runs ever. Strange...
