Gap is the driver's best lap in a session against the fastest lap in their class in that same session (zero is fastest in class), shown as time lost and as a share of the lap, so conditions cancel out and tracks can be compared. Typical is the median session.

Letters to Fastrack
HP MG Midget/Austin Healey Sprite 1275
#38057 from Lee Fleming · Not recommended · Minutes (2025-05 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter, but this is not recommended currently. Multiple rule changes have occurred in recent years in an
attempt to help this classification, by permitting both fuel injection and 12.0:1 compression, and to date no example has been
prepped to fully exploit both of these allowanced and then brought out and raced. It is not reasonable to now consider a weight
break as well, in addition to these prior changes, when the impact of those changes is still not fully known.
HP SU Carburetor modifications
#36078 from Lee Fleming · Not recommended · Minutes (2024-05 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter, but this change is not recommended. The effect of the recent compression
increase that was given to these cars needs to be fully realized before any additional changes will be made
to their classifications. Additionally, it should be stated that the carb modification that's being discussed
here is against the core of the Limited Prep Prod philosophy.
HP H Production Sprite/Midget Rule Change
#35058 from Lee Fleming · Taken care of · Minutes (2024-01 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. An adjustment has been made to the HP 1275cc Sprite/Midget, with "Level 1/2" preparation, in the
response to letter #35138 in current Fastrack. No other adjustment will be considered at this time.
HP 1500 Midget LP Engine acceptance
#31666 from Lee Fleming · Taken care of · Minutes (2022-01 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. Please see response to letter #31665.
