    where is this "bouncing" happening the most?
    Compare time slips and see where exactly you are flux'ing on your time? You can really get detailed with this, doing some math from time slip to time slip and really figure where its happening at.
    60ft
    330ft
    1/8
    1000ft
    1/4
    once you figure out where you are having in-consistancy problems, you can make the issue easier to figure out.

    if your not wavering on the first 60 foot, then I would say the bouncing is driver. Probably around shift points on the track (if you know where you are when its time to shift) other than that keeping the wheels straight is important....any input you put on the steering wheel while going down the track will cause et lose.

    almost forgot about staging.....couple inches shallow or deep will have a huge impact on your reaction time and ET.
    see bracket racing is easy....just mash the gas and go :yahoo:

    As you get more seat time you will realize that even the front tire size has to do with your reaction time, taller tires give you more roll out.
