Got a few questions about some of my past runs. Quickest was 10.028@73.09 with a 2.470 60ft, but i was spinning at LEAST 350ft down track. 2nd time I pulled a 2.318 60ft spinning about the first 30ft, then grabbed 2nd and spun forever and just let out of it. So i'm curious, if i dropped that much in just the 60ft from having a little bit of traction, how much do you think it would gain in the whole 8th? Also, some ppl say if your spinning your mph will be higher, but other say different, i dont' really see how they'll be higher when ur spinning than when your hooking, but anyhow. I'm running 73 spinning, i think if i hooked, i'd be pretty close to 75mph if not higher. So i put my best 60' together, and then mph, and looked at some of ya'lls timeslips in the fastest truck list (by the way, it needs to be updated) and it looks like i should be running around somewhere close to 9.5's to 9.7's with traction. Does that sound about right???

Spinning does raise your mph some. When you hook good you get out so much quicker it usually relates in quicker e.t., and less mph. 9.70's to 9.80's will probably be possible with a good launch.

Too much spinning and your mph will suck, but hazing or spinning for 30 feet or so usually leads to higher mph.
