Both were holding. One more than the other. One was scrubbing e.t. better than the other. The wagon was just giving Cotton a different look than he was expecting.

I'm going to assume , after Troy's Jegs win, NHRA might have asked him how he was doing what he was doing. Could be as simple as watching the tach or shift light and lifting all the way off the gas.
Would a slower car be more consistent without powering it all the way to the 1320? Maybe so.
Anyway, as of now, I' d worry more about the factory cars running dead on @ 140 mph.

With all the technology today. Heaven forbid if you have any skills. Many years ago I watch Randy Goff, a comp racer here in division 7. He won the division 7 points championship spot racing (not one electronic near the car) in Super Comp with his 67 Nova.

Oh I get it. We have local guy at our track spot drops and scrubs e.t. better than anyone I've seen. No one complains or should as I'm sure you didn't. The only reason the things he does down track work is because he's so good on the tree as well.
