Can some one explain why I have a higher speed on my slower run in this example?

Why? Physics...look at your time slip...I'm gonna guess you were slower to the 60' mark on the higher MPH run? A slower ET means *more* time to accellerate, thus a faster MPH...I've got a formula around here somewhere that shows the why/how, but I'm headed out the door. Anyway, it's not *always* the case, but holds true the majority of the time...it's usually more profound in faster cars...
