spinning more equates to higher MPHs and slower ETs due to traction issues

no spray, (that i am aware of)

when you spin the tires, you effectively lengthen the track.
making it longer, makes et suffer, but allows you to go faster (mph)

when the track is bad you spin. you 60' gets worse which is why your et's suffer however your mph goes up.

when the track is **** i always run my highest mph along w/ my worst 60's

example i have been 127mph w/ mid 1.6 60's on a bad track w/ the same setup i was normally running 124 mph w/ high 1.5 60's on a good track

another example, my mph is always higher at atco vs mir

Yesterday, I unbolted my slicks and put my regular street tires on and left them at full pressure and busted out a 13.2 @ 126, lol. That was on the street tune also. The car will normally trap low 11's at 127-130 depending on track conditions.
