Got it. However, I've observed that Potter frequently uses a lot more of the track than you do - the parts with grass and dirt

Oh yes. I'm still not using every single inch of the track. I have a hard time unwinding the wheel sooner. That will help me use more track and exit faster.

Just missed a sub 2 min lap with the cyclone this weekend. Joe, I think you and I have a healthy fear of going off where Potter has no fear. I'm happy that I was running within about 1-1.5 seconds of his best times on Saturday. I'll post up my 2:00.4 lap time video chasing Mooty tomorrow.

Nice! 1 second off pace of Potter is nothing to be disappointed about it. After following him around this past Friday, I noticed a few things about him. First off, very smooth. No sliding. Second, he doesn't make mistakes. Very consistent. I can hang with him when I'm on, but if I make even the slightest error, he gains a tenth, and then another, and another. I saw him make one small mistake the entire time behind him vs my multiple.

If my damn video was working I'd be sharing a certain code-brown moment you experienced right in front of me.

Default 2:12:42 at Miller Outer

I did a 2:12:42 at Utah Motorsports Campus last weekend - the outer configuration - while chasing down a GT3RS. RE-71R, -2.5F/-2.0R camber, otherwise stock. I know there was a guy with Hoosiers who did a 2:09 so I'm not the fastest by any stretch, but might as well get an entry for UMC up on the leaderboard.

Shed 3 seconds at WGI This past weekend. Still lots of room to improve.

Watkins Glen International - 2:13.35 - RE71-R

Been in cockpit with him and he definitely slides .... for benefit of laptimes. Does he still repeatedly go off at t9 but "damn he saves it moment" when it happens. He grins/smiles when it happens. The guy can drive!!! No fear mantra for him. Mike

bone stock
oem sway bar and aero duct settings
stock Michelins

this car with R7's and camber plates has 2:05 potential

Crossing my fingers that everything aligns and I can hit WGI in September with group52. Good goal posts.
