Al replied back to my e-mail and informed me it was a theory from another Fox driver from another region.
I was a little caught off guard b/c I took it as it was something I had previously stated.

I don't feel this a disadvantage to the Fox but if the powers at be want to research more I think it would be beneficial to get more data from the other regions who run more 40 minute races than we do. IMO, the only 40 min race in TX (Hallett R4) is not worth looking at b/c James backed off ever so slightly due to his 5 second lead, I kept going as hard as possible, and Dan fell off after I got around him. The fact that my times didn't fall off as much as James and Dan is not shocking at all.
