Which timer are you using? You might try asking this in the Racing forum on Renn. But be prepared for the obvious question: no roll bar? If you are serious enough to be using a hot lap timer to try and wring the last tenth out of your car, you should consider proper safety gear. Just my opinion.

FWIW, I think hot lap timers have very little utility at a DE. A GPS based timer will give way more useful data that can be analyzed, and a decent GPS unit is only a bit more than a hot lap timer.

don't care about tenths or even seconds. just a toy i picked up cheap. i do, however, like to know the best lap of the day. dd with kids in the back seat prevents use of a roll bar for me. a few track days a year doesn't justify the cost of the gps units for me either, but they are VERY cool.
