I have found myself (committing one of those gross errors you
described, Rocky) counting my way through a turn, and knowing I could
get those two seconds for certain if I didn't understeer, or figuring I
was good for 0.3 if I wasn't so tentative in the slalom, or looking for
0.2 in a start (0.2 is the time it takes you to say, "ONE")
If I only had as many runs as there were turns in the course...
Anyway, yeah, I _do_ go after specific times, especially if I am
0.4 (or 0.1 or 2.5...) back from the person I want to catch. I use
that as proof that even if I thought I was doing my best, I can
obviously go faster... I feel that I do drive better in hot
competition than alone in my class.
