I could and should have been clearer. I quoted that statement to point out that some previous comments had brought up things that make runs NOT equal and it seemed like those were not being considered. Just like you described when things happen after the initial hit that will change what happens at the finish line.


Went back to find what you typed so as to avoid any further confusion.

" If you shift the car too high and the converter locks up OR you have too much low gear in the trans and you don't have enough wheel speed yet, it can "stagger" the car. Make it hesitate on the shift. A lot (not all) Racers with PGs try and shift the car low enough to "flash" the converter again. Especially in bad air.
In a Stocker with a PG, 60' times are irrelevant."

I got the idea that some might be ignoring the important issues you brought up.
