getting traction off the line means a harder launch and better 60'. in the same sense that a good launch gets you to 60' down the track in less time, it would also get you to 1320ft down the track in less time than a bad launch (in theory). however, since you got there quicker, your car had less time to accelerate up to its maximum potential speed (trap speed). because it was accelerating for less time while physically within 1/4mi, it did not have enough chance to get up to a higher speed vs. a run with a good launch, BUT it got to the end sooner. this results in lower ET, as well as a lower trap speed."
still not seeing it. the car isn't accelerating when it's not moving. less movement = less speed. the fact that it's getting a good 60' time only means it's getting to that speed more quickly.
