Not only that but the times you listed are people running drag radials which will typically give you better traction (ET) than street tires
it doesn't matter if it's a hero run or not.. Those trap times could have just as well been on a slow run from a big build car... my point is the trap times I quoted from the mags will produce high 11's easy... and yes you need good traction to do it...

As others have said... it's an indication of the power you are putting down... just need to figure out how to work in a solid 60' and you are in the 11's..

Here are more that aren't at the top of the list...
