That is what we around here refer to as the "Chad Theory." It states that "I could have gone *this* fast if I didn't have that 6 second crash..." The Chad get very upset when other people use it
I think using only a portion of your laps to weed out the crashes doesn't quite give a true measure of a driver's consistency. For example, last week when I raced, my second lap put me about lap down and another put me the second lap down. Now applying your theory my consistency would have been .320, however overall it was .680 just by adding two more laps.
Normally I would take the .320 and be happy, but it seems like there is ALWAYS "one" lap in my main that puts me a lap down.
