in my experience observing the guys who like to run "loose", their
consistencies are extremely poor, and they're just as likely to finish high as they are to finish low
I'm just not that type of driver. I don't have quite the exposure that you do when it comes to performance driving. (A single road-race for you would put you years ahead in terms of development than a casual autocrosser, a full season of road racing is equivalent to a lifetime of autocross in terms of raw experience of "feeling" the car). I used to do a lot of time attack, but that has since gotten expensive and it's been a long time since I had a few hours to myself to just rip it around lap after lap.
I only have 5-6 runs in a single day in a single week to make my stand. I play on the streets when I can, I take advantage of rainy and snowy days, but it's not nearly enough.
So for those 5-6 runs I need my car to give me as much confidence as possible, Because blowing a run on drifting and then waiting for 40 minutes to try it again is a very inefficient learning model.
For next year I may start off with an HPDE day and hoon my last year's tires into oblivion, but still.
I just want to experiment
