They do plenty, they give you a basis to make an argument if both drivers are of equal skill. Of course someone can mis-shift or jump out or be in the wrong gear but from a roll, many of those aspects are taken out of the equation.
So if you have an 11.3 second 1/4 mile car running a 13.3 1/4 car, the faster car has much more room for error and can still win the race.
You can't discount 1/4 times and how they help come up with a basis to speculated street races.
