Robert,
Last night at the track you made the statement that you hadn't
change anything since last time out when you ran 15.07. Only
that you had learned how to launch without wheel spin.
MPH in the quarter is an indication of horsepower, ET is more of
how well you can put that horsepower to the pavement. You can set
on the line and spin like crazy and screw up your ET, but the MPH
will still be about the same. Look at your 60 ft. times, if they are
the same your ETs should be very close, if that is a difference in
the 60 ft. times then your ETs will be different, but the MPH will
still be the same.
