Tim B. burns off 2 more wear at 140, taking the inside on First curve followed by the lines in S1. At 120, Mike uses the 120's in First curve for free and opts for the inside lane in front of S1. Rando also takes the 120's for free at 120 and stays on the paint of the #25.


So, Mike, I figure I will do best if I plot faster than you or slower than you. Not the same as you. I wonder just how fast you plotted?

Something's gotta give. We've been trading paint for six straight turns now.

Keep pushing, both of you. Love to see it! Perhaps the hairpin will show who is the Alpha out of this pair. :wink:

OK, so shoot me for trying to bring a little drama to an obvious result. Although the answer to the question of whether Rando broke the lap record could be no, he shattered it! But not to be overlooked, Tim B added 1.5 seconds to his lead in addition to being only about 2mph off the record.
