Default If only matching time trials...

Ran a standing start time trial yesterday at Brainerd Int'l. Out of 7 runs I had the following three times as my fastest laps:

1:33.707
1:33.704
1:33.706

What are the odds?

I don't know what typical lap times are at Brainerd, but that is impressively consistent.

It's pretty quick too. I think he would qualify near the top in Trans Am 2 at Brainerd.

Thanks guys. Just found it amazing that the three laps would be within 3/1000ths of a second on a fast road course with 13 turns. Guess that's all I had.

That is pretty cool. Do you have data logging like a Traqmate or similar? With times so consistent, it would be neat to see if you're faster one place on one lap and faster elsewhere on another.

I've never done any data logging. Just old school seat of the pants.
