One thing has always bothered me a little about the ET comparisons for different mods. No one seems to take into account the driver factor. While I no longer race, it was not uncommon to see major improvements as I became more familiar with the car. Quite often a major mod would make enough change in the car characteristics that a whole new learning cycle was necessary. You have probably all seen the differences that a really good driver sometimes makes, a 1 second improvement between drivers is not all that uncommon. Do you remember your first time out? For most of us it was not too great. Give your selves a little credit, maybe you are driving a little better.
