Finally got my car back to the track over the weekend and PB'd by 4.5-5 seconds. Hard to say for sure as I'm trying to parse it out through my video editing software because the GPS screwed up and didn't stop the timer- counted two laps as one. But I believe it's about a 1:18.4.

Smoothspo.............fast lap , Steve, and it looked nice and effortless! Looking slow is often the ones who are going fast and a 1:36 at RA is cooking.
Never feels that way in the car Bill. When I watch my video I always think how slow I am and how I could push harder in some areas. That ragged edge separates the good from the great and the great from the maestros.

Yet, Steve I have always found those who may appear slow, their movements smooth and almost in slow motion, are the drivers with quick times and who can run consistent --- it really proves slow ( in appearance ) and steady wins the race.
