because the only outlier is the 1/4 mile
not the 60
not the 330
not the 660
not the 1000
just the 1/4
consider the following…
primetime’s 11.45 vs Matty’s 11.39
1.60 60 1.64
4.73 330 4.87
7.33 1/8 7.45
94.62 MPH 93.96
9.56 1000 9.64
11.45 1/4 11.39
119.56 MPH 125.76
Primetime was 14 hundredths ahead at 330 feet
PT was 12 hundredths ahead at 660 feet and was 0.7 MPH faster
PT was 8 hundredths ahead at 1000 feet
From 330 feet to 1000 feet, Matty only gained 6 hundredths. That means he’s not going much faster than primetime if at all, and the numbers bear that out. But from 1000 feet to 1320 feet, Matty somehow gained 14 hundredths…and in the last 660 feet he gained 5.9 MPH on primetime, a car he was slower than at every other point in the race up to the halfway mark.
For perspective, a car that is 8 hundredths ahead of you at the 1000 foot mark is about a car length ahead of you. For you to pass him, and beat him by 6 hundredths, you’re half a car length ahead of him at the pole. To gain only that much time…but to absolutely WHOMP him with an extra 6 mph, is impossible. You’d be gaining on him so fast it would look ridiculous. If you trapped 125 in a DSG B8 S4 at a good track with a 1.6 60’ time, your 1/4 mph time should be 10.9 or so. Not 11.39.
So there’s something wrong with the 1/4 mph trap. He should be around 11.4-11.5 @ 119. The fastest cars are in the 11.4 @ 119 range. If you give them another 50-70 whp or so and add another 6 mph of trap speed, they’d be in the 10s. Easily.
