He's going to nationals in September, so I'm sure he'll be compliance checked several times. I was like 3 seconds off his pace at NJMP Thunderbolt, but I think my gap there was more down to lack of track experience since it was my first time there.

7mph in that straight is a huge discrepancy. I'd attribute it to a better area under the curve. Remember, NASA classes by P/W, without AUC restrictions, so his car could be making 205whp for a 3000 RPM range (and yes, this is TOTALLY doable on a E36 M3), whereas you make your peak for just a moment.
Robispec and I speculated that on a NA car with hoosiers, 205 on 7.5" rims is probably fastest.
