My fast lap times for each race were:
Race 1 - 1:25.129, was on heat cycle #11 (car was pushing very bad)
Race 2 - 1:24.565, was on heat cycle #12 (made three different adjustments and handling was much better)
Race 3 - 1:25.289, was on heat cycle #14 (was pushing again as RF tire was almost bald)
Race 4 - 1:24.421, was on heat cycle #15 (swapped LF to RF and had much better grip)

I was surprised to see my fast lap of the weekend come in the last session but I was making adjustments throughout the whole event. 3 of my 4 tires are almost bald and will probably not see the track again. This was the fewest heat cycles I have ever gone through a set of tires but they did have some long races with Nationals, Houston, and Cresson.

My fast lap times for each race were:
Race 1 - 1:25.129, was on heat cycle #11 - Temp 72, pressure 29.1 (green track after overnight rain)
Race 2 - 1:24.565, was on heat cycle #12 - Temp 57, pressure 29.1
Race 3 - 1:25.289, was on heat cycle #14 - Temp 52, pressure 29.3 (intermittent light spitting rain)
Race 4 - 1:24.421, was on heat cycle #15 - Temp 53, pressure 29.4

I was surprised to see my fast lap of the weekend come in the last session but I was making adjustments throughout the whole event.

The best conditions of the weekend were also in race four. So many variables to account for. The big question is what your lap times would have been with fresher rubber? I would love to see that data that doesn't (and effectively can't) exist.
