Incidentally, looking at mean lap times (laps not involving traffic) and the standard deviation for those lap times is probably going to be more meaningful than looking at a single hero lap time that you couldn't back up within a whole second or more. IOW, put more value on where you're running on average and how consistently you're there than on what you did once and couldn't duplicate.

Good point, I was disappointed that only on 1 lap did i get into the 1:25's, I would have liked to seen a few laps in the 1:25's
Hopefully on my 2nd dry track day I'll be able to do this and get into the 1:24's, we will see how much time I can cut off during a whole day of instructor led tracking.
