That's right, Allon went from a fast car to a slow one... I remember now.
As Street tires get better, so do R compounds. The whinning in earlier years and availability of national tour ST data is what caused me to do the math, and prove them wrong at least statistically speaking.
If Lucas was driving Bob's car all weekend, Subarus wouldn't have had a chance at overall PAX IMHO.
And look at the T drivers they are complaining about. young, fast reflexes who spend many hours on the track as well and often drive the car in the exact same setup daily. I don't think some of the whinners drive their car other than at Autocross, and drive trucks the rest of the time. 5-6 minutes every 3-4 weeks can't compare with the seat time some of the T folks log per month...
When the Sac guys show up, they are the real reality check. When a T driver beats a well prepared/driven race tire car, then I will question the T multiplier.
