Jim,
No, I didn't mean it to sound like that... I didn't drop from a 2:25 to a 2:13 in one day. I was just saying that was the only time we got on me. If you check out the video you'll see. There was a lot of traffic. Literally all of Saturday I never got one single perfectly clean lap, there was always someone in front of me, and there were a few cars turning dangerously slow laps, like 2:50s. Plus there were some really fast cars you'd have to slow down to let by, like the CGT, and two Radicals. The guy driving the yellow RX-7 in the vid was really fast, he was doing 2:05s, and I was trying to follow him for a while, we were talking at some point trying to figure out what times we would turn on clean laps, and he said he thought I would have been doing like 2:17s with a clean lap, so I probably dropped no more than 5 seconds, which really doesn't surprise me too much since, I knew I wasn't pushing that hard until Randy shamed me into it, and then I was determined to pass the CGT. But, basically, those were the only clean laps I have times on, so I have no idea how much time I dropped.
Lol, That's nice to know I would have qualified well. Those times seemed odd too though. The first place qualifier was like 7 seconds faster than the 2nd place in the same class. Who knows. Plus, what time of year was that? I know at Roebling, track temps can be worth a couple of seconds depending on tires, the temp, etc...
