Oh in know. To the 3 of us it is a joke. No worries there. But, some people take that bait hook line and sinker and turn the thread into a circus.

Yeah for sure! It's Wallace racing, so plenty of salt taken with these calcs, but 136 mph and not knowing his race weight I used 3400 figuring that's a decent "light but not Swiss cheese" number, and it's right in the wheelhouse. 620-650 depending on calcs. But by ET, it's "only" 550-580.

I know everyone says you lose mph with better ET, but considering you really didn't get a clean pass, I think your mph goes up with lower ET.

You'll probably end up beating the calcs for both ET and mph, but it's a reference point

I never technically got booted. But the track official was laughing at me and said 1, maybe two More passes and that's it lol. I think he quit watching though because the track went to **** and had to deal with it
