With stickier tires (e.g., the DRs you used during your epic 60-130 runs), and better traction, Joe will run a much faster 60-130 time. Moreover, a fast 60-130 time requires specific, optimized shifting that is different from a mile run. A 60-130 run requires a specific lead in, at an optomized speed and RPM which cannot be replicated in an all-out mile run. There is little doubt that Joe will run considerably faster than 4.81 when he specifically attempts a 60-130 run, with the right tires, optimized lead in, optimized rpms and optimized shifting. Likewise, I have no doubt that Joe will attempt a 60-130 run shortly and immediately post his results.
