For lapping, or any other hobby that I have been doing for a reasonable amount of time, if I can pick up just one point from experimenting, a comment from an instructor, or by simple observation - it has been a good day.

My very first run on a long course test and tune i ran 90sec and just listened to what the instructor told me to do and the second run i got 82sec. After that I was just pumped to rinse and repeat on every improvement he had told me

something I do in my offtime is watch other auto-x videos and try to read the track before they hit apex's. don't just sit and watch, see if you can see the course ahead like the person in the video is

other than that...yeah it gets pretty boring in-between events

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that does that. I have in-car videos of the tracks I frequent on my BlackBerry, so I can mentally bone-up on the configuration before lapping days.
