Message	Regardless of his launch, his trap speeds should be higher. I've made a bunch of runs in my car, and regardless of whether I hook up great or totally bog/spin, my traps remain very consistent. With 60 foot times ranging from 2.0 seconds to 3+ seconds, my trap speed remains in the 107's just about every time. He could roll to an easy start, and still get high mph traps if his car had the power. The ET would suffer, not the trap speed.
