Just gotta watch that kinda stuff. I mean if they stripped 500 lbs outta the car.....
i agree with you there. we dont know all the details that go down and how many slower runs were made before that one single "best" run is posted. Also, things like track prep and how "fast" the track is should never be taken lightly. Ive been to the track on a few occasions where everybodies runs were .4-.5 and 4-5mph slower than it should have been, even though it was decent weather!
