Ok, this has been bugging me for a while, and I'd like everyone else's thoughts... can you tell work is boring today? How can anyone (by anyone I mean Mark Daddio, John Thomas, etc.) be so far ahead

I don't quite follow, seems to me your saying there is some maximal usage of the car that results in THE best time, that would be 100% and you can't go past that, meaning for the entire course at an

One cannot assume that mere mortals even approach 100% "usage" as you define it here. That would mean the absolutely perfect line, perfect brake point and application, perfect steering input, perfect

I'm saying that a car, always on the limits of the friction circle (and for those of you who want to get picky, moving between the extremes as efficiently as possible) will have a theoretical minimum

A third theory... Theoretically, (mathematically), dolphins should only be capable of a certain underwater cruising speed in a certain density of water. Theoretically at usage=100% you turn 15 knots.

Of course, if there IS that big S, you won't be able to get to it, which in itself gives the answer. . . . Walter Fooshee I think we ought to hold them down and rip off their shirts to see if there's

Basically they make fewer mistakes than the rest of us ( I don't believe anyone can make a "perfect" run) and probably have the ability to view and understand what to do on course quicker. And lots

I would argue this point. If you really feel like with enough runs, you could match or beat anyone, then practice is the key ingredient. Lets say that Mark Daddio ran a 55.0 after 3 runs. You start a

As one who drives the same Honda as John Thomas, I feel compelled to jump in here. I agree that, in theory, every _car_ has a maximum potential. However, as someone else has said, I don't think anyon
