You know, I keep hearing about the 60" improvements multiply. I must be doing something very wrong. Mine picks up in the 1/4 mile the same as the 60' improves.
Never more. When I first started trying to play with mine, after being away over 30 years (no 60' or other incremental times back then) I noticed that when I first tried to bracket race a little. So, I asked my old friend Mike Edwards about that, He knows more about things like that than anybody I know. He asked me "How could ETs improve more than 60' times?". I told him "I don't know, I just keep seeing guys talk about that on the internet." His reply was I needed to stay off the internet. LOL!

A car with enough power to run 132 MPH should at least 60" in the low 1.30s even foot braking it. 10.29 ETs for a normally aspirated 132 MPH car is a bit off. Should be very low tens at least. Fixing the 60' times would take care of that.
