Tom, I was doing my o-60 runs on a new street by my house where they just started construction on new homes. The road isn't quite long enough to get a 1/4 mile time. I,m going to find a road long enough this weekend to run several 1/4 mile tests. I'll keep you posted.

Minimal wheelspin is the key. The first time I took my Cobra (Mustang not to be confused with your beast), I ran a 15.2@97mph. The trap speed wasn't too bad but the E.T. sucked. I was over-anxious and dumped the clutch at the start and just spun...and spun...and spun (you get thr drift). Even with practice I could never get below a 14.2 @101. My starts were never very good (probably the street tires) and I pretty much gave up after I blew my transmission.
Anyway (sorry for digressing), I hope you get a chance to run through the whole 1/4 mile with the improved starting technique. Please let me know the results.
Good Luck,
Tom
