>Well, don't forget you're probably going faster than that at the end.

that's for sure. On my hubby's timeslips from the previous weekend when I was in FL, we're showing a tremendous gain after the 1/8th. With the dragboat it was always my job to track the timeslips and figure out where we needed to tune for (whole shot, front end, back end). Amazingly enough I had that down to a science on water, and we're really struggling now... it's somewhat different on black top.
