60' Time....

What exactly does a "60' time" mean? What is it? I can't seem to figure it out...

From the time you launch (break the beam at the starting line) until you reach the 60' line, where there's another beam... measures how hard the car leaves... low 60' time is good (duh), higher times come from wheel spin, bog at the line, too tight converter, etc. Anything below about 1.9 on street tires is pretty good.

Since you asked this question, I want to add that R/T isn't part of your E.T time, as a lot of people think it is.
