Dean, I'm just busting you about the rocks 'cause I can (I think you dropped a tire 4 or 5 times that session in front of me!), but it's really not a bit deal. What are a few (more) rock chips on a car with it's fenders beat to hell anyway?
BTW, here's my G-G plot from my fastest Sunday lap (on street tires) vs. my fastest Saturday lap (on race tires). You can see, I don't spend much time in the bottom left/right edges of the traction circle, and you can tell I'm not at all traction limited when accelerating. At least I'm getting a noticeable gap in the 0 to -.5 G area, so I'm not slacking under braking too much, but I'm not accelerating as had as I should be able to according to the plot.
