How do i make my figures or how do i figure that Beyers at long distances are a joke?

Having made my own pace and speed figs for over 10yrs i can tell you with a great degree of certainty that a final time in the range of 2:02 and breeze for 10f deserves nowhere near a plus 100 Beyer. The track was not playing slow on BrCup day.

Seek out other speed fig guys on this or other sites and they will tell you that Beyer loses it a bit when distances approach 9.5-10f and beyond.
In fact, i know of one guy who changed his entire parallel time chart as a result of being frustrated by Beyer's chart.

Also, how would you explain the Amazombie and Solar Rocket figs from 7Apr at SA? And they were only going 6.5f...one race was run in 1:14.16 and the other in 1:14.31 on the same day on a fast track and received 105 and 93 Beyers respectively.
There is something VERY wrong with that.
