Considering the accuracy of modern measuring technology, wouldn't it be  
great if all the LSR groups could agree on , for lack of a better term,  
handicaps , to assign to vehicle speeds to either add/subtract mph due to  
surface, wind direction, even humidity, barometer, altitude, temperature, and  any 
other possible relevant input ? 
In that situation, only the distances would be left for discussion, and two 
 way averages, and one hour turnaround, and................. Politics.
