Do you think the difference in acceleration was due to blue car bogging on the launch? Doesn't look like it got any wheel slip to keep the revs up.

it was precisely because he bogged down the launch, or more to the point of starting out at a less than optimal RPM
however having started at the perfect RPM, I did have to manage the wheel spin, as you can see in the bottom graph, my wheels started to spike way too much, and I knew this ahead of time, hence the initial feather of the throttle
my buddy had no such problem and was WOT from the start, but because he was under his powerband there was no issue with wheel spin so it was just a gradual acceleration
