I saw a 2013 at our track on friday night. running 12.3-.5's@120-122 mph. He was a very good driver and the car was definately traction limited! I offered to make a pass in the car and he just kind of laughed at me (after knowing me for 2 minutes lol!) I am sure it would run 11's with some practice even with no traction. It sounds like he will let me try it which is cool!. In person it is pretty hard to tell it was a 13 because it was a black car with everything blacked out. Very cool though!

Precisely, you understand the concept. Trap speed tells the tale. The car with the higher trap speed wins a roll race every time and is more fun to drive as it generally has a much better torque curve. You will never, ever have drag strip traction on the street. They don't prep and VHT intersections.

They should... (prep and VHT) every intersection... ;)
