Yes, my best run each side was identical to the thousandth of a second!  Neither run was particularly ideal, although the left side run (with cold-tire excessive wheelspin on the launch) had the better technique for sure. I managed to not recognize the car's root handling issue during the weekend and we ended up making the car worse for Sunday's runs. On top of that I was fighting the car (especially the ABS, which decided to interfere a lot on Sunday) through the finish and surely lost my shot at a 44-second run right there. One of my shortcomings is that I don't tend to unwind the wheel proactively on corner exit - I often do it reactively instead, which usually only works when a car is reasonably well balanced.  I think I also just started to get used to the slower E36 steering ratio and began to use too much steering input at times this past weekend. 

This is why I love using in-car video as an analysis tool. I learn a lot by watching myself!
