Um. That it was a fun piece? You actually required an explanation?

Your point is made, at least in this particular venue. I was thinking more like a second a minute as a "typical" difference, but this is about one and two thirds seconds per minute. That sort of difference is definitely flirting with ass-kicking territory.
My "second a minute" opinion is derived from local track-day observations, but clearly your example is in a more definitive venue.
