It got my attention because you called out somebody who does n't have his car up and running.
I would be scared of roll races if I owned your car too launch

Cars that leave hard will run a lower ET with a lower trap speed compared to someone who spins. If both people run the same ET the person spinning will more then likely have a higher MPH and vice versa.
You want an example? You said above you went 15.2 @ 103. Great, I went 12.8 @ 103.
Not to mention that some other factors come into play. Things like how sticky the tires are and how much air is in the tires will play a part in trap speed and how the car acts at the top of the track.

I hate to say it but what Brett actually has to say most of the time can be credited due to the fact that he is a die hard racer. He only lives at the track. Take into consideration on some things people say that mean something. This is not directed to anyone perticular just to everyone jumping on everyone's case. Hopefully one of these days we can get that 280 running ... grrr P.S. When did Jeff mention his car was running

And you prolly had a 1.8-1.9 60 ft whereas I had a 2.6. I was joking about the 15.2 time, I really did run that but my best time is a 13.8 @ 110

And yes, hooking and leaving hard does play a huge part in your 60'. I'm not seeing the point here?
