Which car/driver will be the first ever to run a sub 5 second lap during one of our hardbody races?
Some racers have run sub 5 second laps in practice. Gonzo (Honda 2000), Victor (Batman 962), Bob Krigbaum (Liqui Moly 962) and perhaps Eddie Shorer (962).
Bob just raised the bar for GTPs at our last race with a lap total of 258 laps. He had a 5.16 lap on purple. Gonzo has run a 5.05 lap on black during one of our monthly races.
The race is on to see who will be the first to record a sub 5 second lap during a hardbody race.
Who will be the first to do it?

Victor had the first ever sub 5 second lap in our January GTP/NASCAR race and did it again in our February GTP/NASCAR race.

Here's a chart showing the racers who have recorded a sub 5 second lap during our regular monthly races. Note that Victor and Hector have recorded two sub 5 second laps. Who's next to join the sub 5 club? By the way, Eddie Shorer did record a 5.000 lap once, so he'll probably get a sub 5 second lap someday.

Sub 5 second chart has been updated to include some recent new lap times Keith Tanaka was the first to record a lap time in the 4.8's (4.889) on the black lane (BPR flat track). Just recently, Marco Carvalho set a new record lap time of 4.839 sec. These recent lap times were set using the Mid-America Retro Eagle motor (model 606). Keith
