You can't discount any time on the list, because even the best driver or the fastest car can run a time anywhere on that list, depending on the conditions and experience with the car. Ask me how I know. That's why you're actually better off comparing these "hero" runs as you call them, because there is going to be fewer variables in those times. You know they were made in the best conditions possible and the driver more than likely got all that could be gotten out of it at that time. The further down the list you go, the more likely it is that something held the car back from it's TRUE potential, whether it be temperature, elevation, track conditions, car setup, driver experience/ability, or any combination of those.

I totally agree. Even though he got a good time out of it, I think there is some time that could and would be shaved off, if the car pulled like it should, and I'd think the car should 60 better. Maybe torque management hasn't been removed to let it come out of the hole as hard as it should. Idk. It's plain as day though, that the car isn't pulling the back half and likely even losing some in the front half, even though the 1/8 mph looks good. Even at stock power levels, he should've ran around 130 in the 1/4 with his 1/8 mph. So I'd think the car should run between 132 and 135, depending on the air temp. Maybe better.
