Could they have been running the wide cones, Steve? I'd bet, and in this case, well.....

Don't know.. this test wasn't done on this coast so I have no idea. You've been to our tests and you have seen the equipment we use to test. Radar and sensors and all the goodies. Maybe they used a stopwatch. I doubt they cheated since the numbers were so far off, and I know DSE to be an honest company. I think it was either bad math, a transposition or bad data gathering (equipment).

Mark, can you see a car on hard tires being 10mph faster than Alcino's car on the race rubber?
