This actually happened to me a good 5 years ago. When I first started in Snr Rotax we were running around with no lead or anything and doing 34.1's at Clay. Midway through the test day before the race we stuck around 9-10kgs on the kart ready for racing, and suddenly I was doing 33.7's!

Still got the setup sheets from the day showing no other setup changes between sessions, but a consistent lap time gain - Totally illogical, doesnt make any sense, and I have absolutely no idea why it happened to this day, my best guess was that it just improved the balance of the kart.
