I'd agree, since there's so much data there, but you have to be careful. The right conditions can make 1:30 a slow lap when it was a record last summer. Also, some tracks like VIR (recently paved) will reach a peak when the times will be the fastest and then they start to come down a little (after 3-5 years) to a plateau. Again, great source for getting an idea of lap times, but don't give them too much weight unless you know the story behind the time.

Thats what we hoped the wiki was good for. Here is a time with data and what the car was and conditions and driver type. Only then can you make a comparison.

Arrow SCCA track records

SCCA regional site should have track records by class. Here is my local example.
