Good job!

If you're willing to deviate from the DE line, you can pick up some time in both Big Bend and the Lefthander:

If you make a diamond out of BB, you can hold more of your straightaway speed longer; at 1:20 in this video, you can see the line going in - you'll have a slightly different line coming out since you don't have 11"-wide race tires - listen to how he modulates the throttle going through and out of two:

With the Lefthander, go through in the middle of the track so that you use the banking that's there. You'll have more grip, it's shorter, and it's safer. Eyes up, and watch that you don't lose the rear-end as you roll on the throttle after the apex. Starting at around :35 in this video, Auberlen drives it and walks you through the line (without saying why):
