Hey guys, just wondering what the guys in the race group are throwing up for lap times. For instance what would the first place and last place lap time be??
Only asking because I'm thinking about racing next year, but I need to make sure I get my lap times down to race pace. I don't want to be a pylon out there. Need a goal to shoot for.
I'm sitting about 1:37ish right now I think. I only got that from the attached video,and just checking the timestamp based on crossing a landmark in the vid. Just wanna know if I'm 15 seconds off a good pace or not. I've only done the two trackdays this year (first one it was snowing lol), but I felt like I was hauling ass yesterday!! Haha So fun. Hope to get a few more under my belt this year for sure.
I found I was hanging out in 3rd quite a bit too, and if I dropped to 2nd around some corners I could get quite a bit better drive out, but on the flipside, when I was hard on the front brake, I found blipping the throttle (to get to 2nd) a weak point for me and I would need to smooth that out. Ass end got pretty squirrely on me a couple times and hit false neutral once too. Sphincter puckering situation to say the least.
Thanks for any help.

BTW - I'm on an '07 GSX-R 750 (#7) with Pirelli Red Stripes (4 trackdays total on 'em).
