Solid note to end on, Chris: you were still improving as the race went on, dropping 2.25s off your lap time by the finish — that's real progress happening in real time, not luck. Sector 1 is your biggest story: it's your strongest sector, but it's also where you're leaving the most time on the table, about 1.10s a lap between your best and your average. That tells you the speed is already there — you've proven it — so next race, focus on repeating your best sector 1 more often rather than searching for something new. Do that and a 37.75-38s lap becomes your normal, not your ceiling.
