disgust

I started tracking one site with one keyword- we we were doing well, climbed up from not being on the SERPs at all to being in the top 20.
then one day, I checked, and it registered at a position over 200. I was worried- what the hell could cause that? I worried that maybe the google api's data was "ahead" of the visible data, and I was just waiting for a drop in the real serps that I'd see soon.
it never happened. I stayed in the top 20. today, I checked again with the tracker, and not only is it in the top 20 again, but yesterday's spike isn't even included anymore.
1) is there a feature to "erase" these spikes from the history?
2) what's causing them?
