# int_qualifying_push_laps

> One row per qualifying lap (gated or not, so consumers filter rather than lose the row set).

<Note>Part of the [Pace Baselines](/transform/families/pace-baselines) family.</Note>

One row per qualifying lap (gated or not, so consumers filter rather than lose the row set). Assigns each lap to its Q1/Q2/Q3 segment and applies the push-lap gate that stg\_laps\_qualifying cannot: is\_valid\_lap removes out-laps and in-laps, but not the cool-down lap between two push laps, which carries no pit time and passes every other check. 25% of the laps previously treated as valid were more than 107% off their segment's best.
