will quicker 60' times = better ET's on the big end

I was wondering if .2 second faster 60' time be more than .2 seconds faster total ET?
if i run 1.95 60' and get a 12.45 ET, will a 1.75 60' get me a 12.25 ET?
I want to get kicked off the track for no roll bar. lol 11.99 or bust!

Should be 11.49 and quicker now before they'd say something, unless your track hasn't changed to that rule yet. Not sure of the ET to 60' number relation but yeah, a better 60' will usually yield a better ET. Back when the 305 was in the car I had a tire spinning start of like 2.60 something 60' with a 15.80 ET. Started to not spin off the line so much and went to a 2.19 60' with a 15.21 ET. MPH was pretty consistent.

.1 in 60' is usually .15-.2 at the big end, but this is not set in stone.

+1 - this is a good "rule of thumb."
