I think the way we did it was perfect for the optimum amount of seat time. The only thing I could see you doing differently would be getting started on time, and a little more organized run grouping (I think I ran with the advanced guys when I was in group 4?) Turn 1 was like half the oval with a 2nd apex anyway. Great job keeping your cool though, it looked pretty hectic.
