Actually, in my only race experience so far, I knocked off 4-5 seconds per lap in the race compared to my practice times.  Really weird because I thought I was going as fast as I could in practice.  Then I actually ran a lap that was 7 seconds faster than my best practice lap.  Maybe it's just me, but the race environment seemed to make me a lot faster.  Can't wait till May to find out if it will hold true again.  See you guys there!

MD.. you are right. its the same for me and other racers ive spoken to. Its stupid to ride so hard you nearly crash in practice or a track day..save the REALLY hard riding for the track. Then, as you said, you get pumped@!!! ready for combat!@!!! It is that way in many televised races. The commentators often say the "the guys are lapping at qualifying times..." .. 1/2 way through a  race, with tires going off, they must just be "UP" for the moment...
