the corba example isn't what I'm saying at all, it actually helps prove both points kinda (your examples work somewhat for a veteran drag racer, but don't translate well for a beginner), the cobra in your example is clearly a 12 sec. car that the drive/owner is incapable of prepating properly for the track (Ie. bringing a cobra to the track without the proper tires in the first place) so how can you base anything off that car? for all anyone knows it's a 10 sec.-120 mph car that the guy cant drive.
lastly not that I'm saying you don't have ANY experiance, I'm just speaking of my own experiance with 28 years of bracket racing & well over 10,000 passes.
I'm quoting the third blob, but all of which is some of the dumbest shit I've ever read. Your saying things like 60', wind, and other track conditions will affect mph. Sure, within 1 to 2 mph at most. Stop dancing man it hurts my eyes. So if a car traps 112 at the track... 13.0 or 12.0... you know damn well how it is going to act froma 60 roll. Especially the 13.0 car... it's not going to lose any mph from a roll.

Op I think you'll be reluctant to see above 112... or that number. I hope it goes faster.

bottom line, you also need more track time if you don't undersand how mph work's.
