[Shotimes] Which MAF is best?

[Ron Porter]

ET is extremely driver-dependent, as well as car setup to get moving. ET is
made with the first 100' or so (assuming you don't screw up shifts after
that!!).

Yep, trap speed is a function of HP, well actually weight/HP. Theoretically,
the trap speed should not vary much, if any,  although the ET can vary by
driver ability. Trap speed will drop with an especially bad ET, but not by
very much.

Looks like this is ending up like the ET is more the driver and his ability
to choose the right tire, and trap speed is all motor?

Like Mike Courtney going around Blackhawk at the Chicago convention a few
years ago.  Like he was about ready to lap everybody in 5 laps, yet his SHO
wasn't much more than a stage I bolt-on with SHO Shop suspension and race
tires....

Hope that I will be half the driver at Blaskhawk that he was at the coming
convention.

"double clutch"  it's good for both you and your SHO
