The e.t. indicates how the driver and truck performed under track conditions
on that particular run. The trap mph is a good indication of how much
horsepower
your truck put out during that run.
You've written the reason for your particular problem when you say 'very
traction limited'. Solutions involve finding ways to get your truck's
power to the ground without tire spin.
