Practiced not-overbraking for each turn, slight improvement from last time here. In three spots on the track, I am around 3krpm and way out of my powerband. Too lazy to shift into 2nd gear (what is this, an autocross track?!). I'm losing some time there. Hit 160mph on the long straight - that was fun.

I have the brakes and power, but I seem to lack momentum during turns. At least, compared to others who have basically stock vehicles, "lesser tires". Had an instructor drive with me, didn't see much of anything wrong with my lines. I was driving the tires hard for sure.

Perhaps going from -3 to -3.5 front camber can help... Tires have 6 track days (about 20 sessions), still tons of meat on them. Don't think they are falling off yet?
I feel like MOST configurations at Pocono feel like a wider auto-x layout
