Again, the statistics from nationally competitive cars/drivers say it is actually about 2.5 seconds per 60 second run. It might well be more or less in an average driver, or averagly(is that a word?) prepared car.

That is another huge contributor to confusion in our region. Very few of the cars are extremly well prepared, and fewer still to the limits of the rules and to make it worse, many of those arent nationally competitive in the class they are running in anyway...

So is a 85% prepared SM Subaru that isn't necessarily even a competitive car in that class nationally on street tires faster than a 64% prepared BP Corvette, or 81% prepared EM Rotafire, or a 92% prepared ASP Corvette on race tires with different drivers using a handicapping system that is largely or partially based on one man's beliefs/opinions and and a somewhat statistically accurate street tire multiplier?

When somebody can plug that into their graphing calculator and get a meaningful answer, come get me. Otherwise, shut up and drive. If you want to realy see if you are faster than someone, pick a car and both drive it, then do the same with the other car. Then at least for those two vehicles on those days, you will have an answer... Or not.
