Solid race to build on, AJ — you were trending the right way all day, dropping 3.75s as the laps went on, which tells me you were finding your rhythm rather than fading. Sector 1 was your strong point all night, so keep leaning on that. Your real opportunity is sector 2 — you've got 2.25s per lap sitting on the table between your best lap and your ideal lap, and most of that gap lives there. Next time out, focus practice laps on smoothing out sector 2 — that consistency gain alone could move you up several positions.
