Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
I have found that a faster 1/4 usually translates to a faster 5th mile
speed. May not be the same for all cars, however.
Considering TC, when I ran the 1/4 mile drags with the roadster, we
depended on being loose off the line to carry the car to speed. I
suspect that there are times when a car benefits from some tire slippage
to attain its best speed. Ok, so I am not the brightest bulb in the
chandelier, just a thought!
