Ed, not sure I disagree with you either, I do believe a car, any car hooks well if they are on the top of the tire, especially high HP cars. That said, I also think if you could hook and have the car go straight out it would be faster. Over the years some of the heads up races with wheel stands were awesome to watch but the winner was not always the guy with the hugh wheelstand. Probably came down to HP but they also went straight out like a rocket. Trying to achieve all that is the hard part (HP & going straight). My car is not the fastest A/SA, not even close but I would compare time slips for consistency whithout doing a "big wheel stand". Great discussion on the converter idea, I would like to hear more, maybe I need to loosen the front at a test session to see if it is faster. Good points...

Meile and Parker fly both is wheelstands and ET so you may be correct.
