I did find that at the end of the dragon, temps were pretty constant throughout the rotor. There wasn't much hot spotting, mostly due to it being a longer run without any hard braking zones.
More telling was the diff temps, but I'll spare you the results

I think you seriously overestimate yourself. As long as different drivers were making those runs the data is totally junk, as everyones driving habits are different. You'd also have no solid proof that an entire run was made or that they had to slow down for half the time. It's near impossible to get a 100% clear run through the dragon when temps are above 40* unless you go at 4 am, so the likely hood that you got dozens of 100% clear runs with everyone driving almost identically is basically a load of crap.
