He stayed with you to half track cause he was trying to beat you in a bracket race and he did.. You want to be out in front then lift right at the line so you don't run under your dial-in.
Good time though, I really didn't think a TC would run that good. However a SRT-4 will easily run in the 13's so he was sandbaggin you, or he can't get traction off the line.

yeah there are a lot of factors in this race.
1. i know how to bracket race, i wasnt trying to win, this was my first pull with the tC and didnt know how shed do so i guessed.
2. if you look my 60' time was crap casue i didnt know where to launch and i bogged off the line.
3. It was really hot last night and not that its an excuse, but temerature DOES make a difference.
4. I have heard of stock tC's running those times and im not knocking them but i have yet to see PROOF like a TIME SLIP or video of a stock tC running 15.5.
So heres my conclusion, i beleive with a better launch and a short shifter like DoubleJ16 i think i could be closer to his times. If you notice my trap speed was higher than normal for a 15.6 therefore leads one to believe that i had a bad 60', which i did.
So I will try again in a couple weeks when my short shifter comes in and see how she does again.
