He said the car was good for another 2 or 3 seconds… so now we’re down to 1.24. The car goes away for winter and comes back with wider tires, more power, quicker spool, less weight, and a more experienced driver and the thing gets 2 seconds quicker than that.

BTW, if at the END of the weekend, you can get another 2-3 seconds out of your car/driver combo, please find another profession.
