What was your 60 foot? What were you trapping?

How can weather be both humid and dry?

just because you possibly drive a low 13' second car, doesn't mean the driver is a low 13' second driver

Well, hot and humid weather conditions play a big part in your performance, probably why your trap speed is low. Your 60 ft does need some work... try practicing your launches.

IMO its your shifting, 60foot could be like a 1.7

Well if he just got his 60 ft down to 1.7, then he could have ran 13.4, if he could replicate the rest of his run... in theory.
