Exactly, between poor weather conditions, mechanical issues and other factors, I've heard manufacturers could spend weeks trying to get a best lap time.
Dodge would never spend the money to get the Viper ACR a best lap time so an enthusiast group of owners helped fund the record setting run. They had poor weather and it didn't look like they were going to break any records but they finally did, however they lost a car due to a high speed tire failure.
