Why/How does tire spin on launch make you trap faster than a run without any spin??????

Well thats easy... use formula below for the answer...

(CID * 3.14/1.3453)^3 * tire diameter / tire foot print * (read gear ratio ^2) RPM @ 100MPH / fuel octane)) - (corrected altitude + outside temp - engine temp at operating temp) - 3

That will give you the answer....

Monty's equation is totally wrong. If you take that equation and multiply it by how many rounds run, it gives you the optimum number of beers to drink after the race. Sheesh...amatures... :P
