Review Race Slips and Compare Times

What happens here

After each quarter-mile pass, retrieve the time slip from the track officials. Review the elapsed time (ET), trap speed (MPH), and 60-foot time. Compare these results to previous runs and your personal bests to track progress and identify areas for improvement. The driver proudly showcases a significant personal best of 9.57 seconds at 145.7 MPH. Understanding these metrics is crucial for making targeted adjustments for subsequent runs. A lower 60-foot time indicates a better launch, while higher trap speed suggests more power at the top end of the track.

Goal: Evaluate race performance data and plan for subsequent optimization.
