ET with and without wheelie.

Strange thing, I can understand what Ed and everyone else is saying and I think both sides are right. If you pick up or lose 60ft you should pick up or lose incremental and total down track as long as everything else remains the same, such as tune up and weather.
I think Ed's version of changing 60ft times relates to his shock settings, other guys I'm not sure of?
I'll add my own experience from last weekend where a timing change picked up my 60ft from 1.40 to 1.37 but the finish line et and mph were slightly slower.

That?s because to shortened the track. Try deep staging one time and see how much ET and MPH you lose.

Ah, deep staging, that's another topic that will unravel a few here that don't understand why, don't understand what it does to the 60 foot time and ET and/or think it's cheating.

Yes, I deep staged my Chevelle for the entire time I raced it.
