For anyone who truly knows about road racing, this means all previous times are moot.

I can't play ball like a pro either but still love to follow football.
The rule changes in football favor offense more now than in the past. We still manage to factor that into our thinking when considering Manning, Favre, Montana or Bradshaw.

You can say the exact same thing about 1/4 mile racing. Great air and track conditions favor the guys on the fastest list but doesn't diminish their accomplishment. When a manufacture goes to set a lap time, they can run as many times as they want, on the days they choose.
When the first Z/28 lap was recorded it rained yet it was still the best lap Chevy had captured on film so they used it. That's a long track and one error blows the whole thing.
