Excellent advice.
I intentionally drove a "narrower" line on Saturday...leaving track out space I would normally eat up. At the same time I pushed the car harder. Leaving all of that space unused took me to 2:17 or slower... from my 2:14 personal best.
I am a wussy. There I said it.
Leaving more margin for error gave me the comfort I needed to get the car sliding more. The way every quick driver I have been with pushes their car.
Now I will try to use the whole track again...maintaining the same level of aggression... with a higher comfort level because I know better where my car's limits exist. If I can get closer to 2:12 with my bone stock set up and continue to have fun, I will be satisfied. baby steps.
My brother is getting to the point where more folks are admonishing him to cage-up.
