Hi La Mer,

You make good sense.

* There is no such thing as a holy grail...but there is such a thing as tools and processes that provide information that isn't maintstream which used intelligently provides a winning advantage :smile:

* A daily track variant does cater for differences in track conditions.

* You said: ".....can be overcome by the establisment of both early and late standard sectional times - I use such a method to great success."

Couldn't agree more and this is a feature of my information systems for every track in Australia that records sectional times.
