No, it was posted because this conversation (at least the most recent iteration of it) was started on Facebook with a claim that there was data that showed certain racers must be cheating. I posted empirical data from runs where there is demonstrably no cheating in order to show that it's not only possible but probable. I apologize if anyone took it as bragging, but I didn't think saying, "Nuh-UH!" constituted a supportive argument.

That's very good Michael, BUT.... can you go 1.28 sixty foot times at 3880 pounds on a 9" tire????
Nope. As mentioned earlier, I'm pretty worthless past the first 12" of the race track.

Looks like Michael had a good weekend, much different than his Sunday 2 weeks ago at Numidia where they paid $5K to win in both Footbrake and Electronics where he was on road before 2nd round.
I'm not sure where this is germane to the topic at hand, but no, I did not have a good weekend. I made a lot of test n' tune and time trial laps. The car slowed .08 on my qualifying run, I dialed off of that, and proceeded to hog up the stripe horribly when the car picked back up. At Numidia, I was .023 and .019 in time shots, then .014 first round where I (you guessed it) hogged up the stripe horribly. I thought the tailwind had gone away. It did not.
