Message	take two identical cars, one gets a a great start and hooks up, and the other either bogs or spins the tires some... they both have the same distance to accelerate til the finish line and (almost) regardless of the take off, they should be close to the same trap speed because they have the same amount of pavement to reach it. the launch (60 ft time) will determine who gets there first and gets the better ET for the most part.
