I like how he not only cut better 60s and ETs... but also added 2plus MPH up top.

Usually spinning makes for higher traps, so it must have been a real problem through shifts as well.

I have to say the driver pedaled it out of the hole pretty good on the stock tires. And damn those Hemi's sound so good.

Spinning has only ever made for higher traps in cars that are not setup correctly. If you spin the tires you are wasting time to accelerate for a fixed length of track. The car that hooks and doesn't bog will have a faster mph every time.

1.55 60' launch on that last run. Very impressive runs with the drag radials.
