Tig,

This is exactly the kind of data I was hoping for.....how the car reacts at the launch in the instant the converter flashes. It was always explained to me that a high stall converter can actually soften the hit of the line for just an instant allowing the car to move forward BEFORE the full power of the motor is applied. It's just hard to conceptualize in my brain how that logically happens, it always seems counter-intuitive to a "stick guy". So by adding only weight (only variable change) it would delay/increase this 'lag' time, and removing weight would speed up/decrease the lag time.

Now logically the theory behind a transbrake is to make the converter/automatic transmission car "act" more like a Clutch car...so more of an instantaneous "shock load" is applied to the tires....true?

I know there's a lot of experienced bracket racers on here, so hopefully this kind of 'cause and effect" understanding/discussion can hopefully be helpful
