You would really need to look at the time slips and see where your picking up the time and also know what the weather conditions are. Physical elevation will effect how dense the air is just as the air temp can, baro pressure, humid. Fuel injection will compensate for some more then a carb'd car.

A racer like Mellisa would know based because she may change her delay at certain tracks. I drive a clutch, my RTs are all over the place! LOL!

But some general maybes,,,

Staging shallow, bad reaction time but a running start could imporve 60s and ET'

If same/like RTs at different tracks but better 60' = could be prep

Are you leaving at the same time (light on the tree) because rollout could have an effect as well concerning your running start.

Higher MPH = Could be due to shallow stage or better air.

Rule~of~thumb - what you do pickup/loose in the 60' doubles at the finish line. Pic up .1 in the 60 pics up .2 at the end.
