wheelspin will always net a higher mph once you get your 60 ft times down your mph decreases. My stang's average is 125 or so one pass in which I broke a shock and the car spun profusely out of the hole I trapped 136mph. that was with a 2.7 short time if I short time a 1.7 or 1.8 it'll mph around 128. The trap speed isn't excat by a radar like the 1/8th mile speed is. It's calculated from other times on the track. Deep staging will decraese mph as you shortening the track even by only a little bit it alsolowers your short time since your closer to tripping the stage beam for your launch.

Here it is. Sorry its not the best quality. I did this on a horrible clutch witch gave out at the end of the 3rd run so i am sure i can get better times as u can tell by my Take offs.
