If you have an instructor in the car you really don't need to time yourself yet. It's more important that you listen to your instructor.
I only get times for others to wade through the mounds of paddock BS. I just had someone tell me recently that they were going 185 mph at Watkins Glen before the bus stop. The fastest I have ever gone there was an indicated 153 by myself and 151 with a passenger. That person was in the same type of car making less power than mine and I was as close to flat as I could be in the esses with the grip that I had. Interesting how DP and Sprint Cup cars are only at 178 to 181 there before the brake zone. Like I said lot's of paddock BS.
