The best my Si cut at bristol dead stock was 15.3- I now cut 14.9-15.0s with i/h/reflash. I'm a bad driver tho. But apparently people are worse than me. I have NEVER been beat by a tc at bristol, even a s/c one. Haven't seen any turbos tho. I also haven't seen a single eigth gen Si cut faster times than I have either. Track elevation, temp, prep, DA, wind and everything factors in when we're talking about times. All tracks are different and there is really no way to compare two different drivers with two different cars racing at two different tracks.

I am not the only tC to ever run low 15secs basically stock to one mod. And there is definitely more that 2 in the world...lol.

So, speaking from logic here. The mention of 2 SI's running low 14's stock was brought up. Logically speaking, would it not be safe to say that every other car on the planet earth if put on the same track those 2 Si's achieved their times on, and with the same caliber drivers, would run considerably faster than it's well known average time?

And trust me, the conditions of Bowling Green that day, was not exactly "track" worthy. Tornado tore the place up...lol. But we were determined to have our day...

Do you know of Union Hill Raceway? It's an 1/8th mile track here in TN. We go there sometimes too. One of my club members has a completely, I mean completely stock tC and ran high 9's in the 1/8th mile, which is what I ran at Beech Bend in the 1/8th mile too. He has a 2007 tC. I think I got it on vid, can't remember if I recorded him that day too.
