Not every heads-up run is a -1. 20 under car vs a .40 under car, and "you don't race'em on paper". Numerous heads-up runs have surprising results. I've beaten guys that had me covered .30 on paper, and gotten beaten by .20 by guys that had me covered by .80.... Whom years later after improving my own program, I could've beaten. Performance is an enjoyable personal challenge above and beyond package racing.
