Reading the E.T. slip for newbie racers

Ok, question. I know hp is based on speed through the traps. However, what happens if you spin all through first gear, lift and get back in it, then pull a 2.8 short time. How accurate is your mph then?

Why I'm asking is, last year I did exactly that. I left a little too hard, spun bad, lifted. Then as soon as it hooked I got back in it. My 1/8th time was a 10.215 but I hit 76.03mph. The 60ft was an abysmal 2.804 seconds!!!

My fan ended up hitting the rad, so I didn't get another pass.

So theoretically, 76mph should be good for an 8.68et. However, if I actually hooked, and didn't spin, shouldn't my mph increase as well?

So if I gained 4mph from a good hook, then I'd be potentially capable of running 8.25s at 80mph? That's not bad at all!
