Regardless congrats on your progress, it was my first track day last week and i think i caught the bug lol. It led me to read all 67 pages of your journal in a week. Lots of motivation now. Great work!
I love to hear that! Congrats on a safe and fun first event

When you make a hard right turn the fuel system loses the ability to pick up fuel in the tank... it takes a moment for the fuel in the lines to empty into the motor, but eventually you will lose throttle response... happens the same way for everyone

Not really... I remember using it a few times when I first tracked the car out of curiosity... wanted to see how aggressively it would cut in... it wasn't as bad as some cars I've driven (corvette), but it definitely slowed me coming out of certain corners

Considering you are not in a position to be driving for lap times yet, I recommend you follow the directions of your club / instructors, which is probably to leave it on... there will be opportunities for you later to try running without it... autocross is a great, safe way to learn how to drive without VDC, for example
