I agree with your point, John, that under a given weight, tire, and cubic inch rule that you had a certain et with your car.

Doesn't seem to matter much with the typical Pontiac guy who looks at the dairy farmer's ET and MPH numbers (no weight posted, no cid posted, no real rules, and wants to brag about what they did). Just a "Pontiac" engine that ran "x" ET and MPH and calls it a Pontiac record.

So even your number (under controlled parameters) will not line up with Mike's runs except if you were at the same track on the same day in the opposite lane (people will say the lanes were not the same) and both of you put down a number. That number being some ET and MPH at same weight, tire size, etc.............................................

So you guys are just "measuring" like I posted before. Talking the trash before the race season.
