misses usually have to deal with the spark plugs,wires, or something with the ignition

i ran today. first runi messed up and let off way before the line (this was a practice run):
R/T: .4xx
60': 2.09
1/8: 9.0s @74mph
1/4: 15.01 @71mph

second run didnt get off the line well:
R/T: .5xx
60': 2.30
1/8: 9.5 @73 mph
1/4: 14.8s @94 mph

the first runi thoughti had passed the 1/4 mark (1st time at the strip)and actually braked tili saw the line and smashed it again. second run was better, buti still only ran .2 faster... the first timei didnt launch it just stepped on it. 2nd timei tried to launchat 2000 rpm using the brakes, could this have caused the slower 1/4 time?[/align]
