Sorry I made that assumption, In the world of Drag Racing your times reflected spinning tires. However, I did not consider that this must be your first time to the strip (judging by the video's). (Please no insult is meant because everyone has to start somewhere. Even those of us that have been around the strip for years did the very same things you did our first times) You will learn and your times will get faster. The reason your Mile Per Hour was the same However, is it is measured during the last 60 feet of the race. Your ET however, is determined in the first 60 feet. Good luck and have a lot of fun at the Strip.

P.S. While you are there, Stay Safe.
