This is pretty unofficial, as Jay spent all of the transponder money on steak/cocaine and all the laps had to be hand recorded, BUT...
I spent a lot of time tracking various cars with the second hand on my watch.
The best MR2 lap we saw was a 1:15. Not bad on a 1.1 mile track.
With Sarah (with an H) at the wheel, the Eyesore's slowest lap was... 1:15. Sarah (with an H) was their slowest driver.
With ringer-extraordinaire Dave Coleman at the wheel, the Eyesore Miata turned a 1:10
The Eyesores were pretty much nailing 1:12-1:13 per lap. Which explains why they won by 30 laps or whatever
Contrast that to the Lightning McQueen Pontiac Sunfire that turned a 3:02 (not a typo) before we black flagged them off and had them remove hunks of metal from their "windshield."
"This is the scene where I get shot," Bronson said. "I have these little squibs that explode to make it look like bullets are hitting." "Fascinating," said Bergman. "I never knew how they did that." "You mean," asked Bronson, "you don't use machine guns in your movies?"
