Results are out now, I got beat by 3 faster SEATS over the 1/4 mile,(1.8T's?) but I'm happy with equal fastest 0 to 60 for any SEAT over the whole weekend - 5.13 seconds :)

Congrats indeed. on question though, how have they calculated the top speed?

0042 YC110SB SEAT Jason Tierney 5.72 14.154 74.2
0041 XX59XXX SEAT Dale Thour 6.42 14.840 85.1

74/85 are both wrong for sure, Dale said he'd just grabbed 5th(before the redline) in auto @ redline it changes into 5th @ 101mph.

My times are also the same and I find it strange that terminal speeds are so low on their slips. I am also sure I was doing a ton when I crossed the line but they had me at like 70 or 80 someting???!!!

All the terminal speeds are wrong. They are all under reading by 15-20mph!

It has been the same ever since they started using this equipment. Probably the reason you only get a 0-60mph time and not a terminal speed as well.
