I would rather see consistent 112+ MPH runs over 12s.

Well since most races are based on who can get to the finish line first I could see why most people would rather have a fast ET instead of a high trap. I ran in an event recently and was matched up against a super light QR sentra twice during the qualifying rounds and he beat me both times by 1 tenth and was only trapping 95mph. I think my highest trap that day was 101 I believe. I was 4 tenths and 4 mph slower than usual because of the heat.
