Yeah, that's science.
If you go back and listen to "Changing Track Speeds", you will find that a real scientist, Mick Peterson, who has studied more actual track surfaces than anyone other than George Pratt of M.I.T. (also quoted at length), said that the way we measure "track speed" is the most accurate way available.
But don't let that get in your way. Stick with "science", and raw times. Because it's not like some of us, using our figures, are beating the crap out of those DMR races, or buying horses based on those figures to win big races over poly.
