Higher trap speeds usually indicate more hp, and the possibility for better times with a better launch.

I hit the rev limiter in all three races which indicates not only is it not all driver but that my trap speed would have been higher had I not botched it. Me launching at 650 RMP does not indicate a good driver either - it indicates the car was able to perform well off idle. I had nothing to do with that.
This particular day the track had to be re-prepped 3 times due to morning drizzle... track conditions were not great for anyone’s launch. But I race these guys at other tracks in other conditions and the results have been similar - until recently after Wally added HFC & headers and got a tune - his car is smokin' now.
We can go on for days about this... but I'm not going to.
