I have been following the Factory Showdown results very closely. I've seen few cars with very good 60ft times and MPH close to the best yet they are tenth slower in elapse times. Is the track slick further down?

It's a very good observation.

It's not the same engine in the car ,the Bradenton engine is out to get freshened..

I'll take that as compliment since I'm 69 years old, not made a pass since 1974, and have attended a drag race twice since 1987....lol

Alot of these guys are taking a bunch of timing out after the initial hit to improve traction and then the timing comes back in as they go further down the track. That's my understanding and why the sixty times are not very impressive yet you see the very good mph.
