Now that it's been more than a month since this was asked (I read slowly), here are the numbers that were laid down. The fastest lap during the 250 demos was a 2:15.687 by Tracey Schram. Hammer pulled off the fastest lap the following day of 2:17.139. So the original estimate of 2:14 was a little optomistic. However, this is a record: not a pace.

The absolute track record at HPR is 1:44.354, while the fastest solo lap during the 3 hour race last year was twelve seconds of the pace at 1:56.975. In the team category it was almost six seconds off at 1:50.245. Again, these are the best; not the average and it indicates the extent of slowing the pace for 3 hours vs. an 11 minute sprint.

What the bulk of the lap times show in the 250 demo races is that transposed to the Lightweight GP or Twins GTU classes, the fast guys on 250's would have put most of the other bikes behind them. So should we not allow any lightweight bikes into the endurance?

Hope this makes is all clear as mud. Afterall, it's just statistics and they were meant to be manipulated.
