Not my fastest lap -- by over 1 second -- but the fastest lap I managed to get video of. Appreciate any and all feedback from those with experience at RA for a first-timer like me.

That's a pretty good lap!
I would suggest after the lift 200 > 100 before the kink as you start to turn in smoothly apply throttle and maintain about 50% through the apex and then progressively to 100% by track out. You'll carry way more speed through the kink and all the way down the back straight. Lots of time to be had here...

Yep. Road America is deceiving because everyone labels it a horsepower track. But the corners are long ( from brake /turn in to WOT) and you need to roll big speed in. You can't gain lost time in to the corner on the straightaway because cars reach Terminal velocity.
T1, T3, kink and T14 are huge.
Club in sport is a 2.22 car at RA I think.
