Bruce, I had one of those at one time in my last dragster. I did not find the number it spit out to be very meaningfull. I have experienced poor .400 tree RT's in the past and tires was the cause on more than one occasion. One year in S/G at the Summernationals...my RT's faded to .08's...two in a row but I was lucky enough to still win.....immediately bought fresh tires and had them mounted...next run .409.......lost with a .420 something...thanks to NHRA...they messed with the starting line and scraped it a ways out.....cost me a chance at winning two years in a row as I spun a bit after the hit......
