The run in question happened from a roll so throw the time out the window all that matter is trap speed. The bike with a perfesional driver ran 130 traps. Lets say a quality rider could get 127 or so out of it (a less experienced rider even lower). Now his car traped 124 before this last round of mods, on a typical supra they can gain 5-10 mph in traps (atleast with what I have read) so if you take his trap and add 5-10mph you get traps in the 129-134 range, or almost 7mph more (on the high end) suddenly its not so hard to beleive.
