he was on H rated tires (shit)
running rich as hell (untuned losing power)
and there was pollen all over the track (further reduced traction)


shitty launch poor low end made up for it in the high RPM area
how is that not believable ???

I love these people who say 'blah blah blah thats an impossible time" your all idiots. Take a calculus class. Then apply it to the real world.


Exaggerate the case:


The car sits stationary with no traction for 2 seconds. finally grips, and takes off. Once the car has momentum, the traction loss is completely gone (we will say). Now, he could have run 120 mph through the trap, and he would still have his real time + 2seconds.

That means, if a car was supposed to run a 10.0 at 120 mph, then it is possible to run 12.0 at 120 mph.

That is an exaggerated case, but it should force you to understand the concept.
