Nice! I don't really run lap timers much anymore unless in TT event. I will have to mentally try and add mine lap# up :)

I am happy i have a black track car. Hides those beauty marks better ;)
I did not really win. But couldn’t help take that pic. Banner is for some street racers that use the front straight for drags.
