Re: Track Times Question...

Throughout the 1/4 you do not experience the same acceleration. Assuming you have no traction problems, you will accelerate the fastest at the beginning, and towards then end, when you're already going 80+ mph, the acceleration will be smaller due to larger wind resistance. Since the Civic trapped higher, it means that towards the end it was accelerating faster, which makes perfect sense, since it's a lot more aerodynamic than your Jeep. Makes sense?
