I have done it that way and also 1st, 2nd, 2nd over, 3rd, 3rd over. In theory that should add a tenth too but in practice I never got enough runs in without problems to really tell. I think I only ever ran twice without probles of one sort or another. Linda Woodhead used to do most of the driving.

I have just punched these 60 ft numbers into the wallace calculator and these were the et's.
1.50 60FT = 10.79 1/4
1.60 60FT = 11.51 1/4
1.70 60FT = 12.29 1/4

Yep, the 60ft's make LOADS of difference. Mine used to be 2.2!!! Took the car to Andy Robinson, he told me that whatever you knock off at 60ft is worth double at the other end.........Went 1.8 and ran 10.9, now l need to get to around 1.5 60's!!!!!!!!

Done this by sorting out the 4-bar, and fitting Mickey Thompson Pro's.
