<Hopefully this will answer some questions.
When you leave the line and you spin, obviously you get more tire rotation,
which when you pass through the mph traps at the end of the track your mph
<<is gonna be higher. Now, when you hook up and you have your best 60' your
<tire didn't go round as many times, that's why your mph varies a little
bit.

should be able to hook good at about 2500 with riding the clutch out.
