I saw this flame war on youtube and reddit.

I noticed that there was a statement from the driver about crosswinds blowing him onto the shoulder during his fastest run. However, I didn't see anything like that in the video. I assumed this meant they didn't want to show that run because the potential danger of being blown off the road wouldn't look good. Perhaps they mixed the speed data with a safer run from earlier in the day. This would explain the discrepancies.

If this is true, perhaps they are simply using the calibration talk as a red herring to distract from the misleading video. This scenario would allow them to not take responsibility and comeback with a genuine record.
