I'm nobody but the corner worker with no "in-anger" experience who "has to" (read: "enjoys the opportunity to") listen to the instructors all day every week, and you're right on the curriculum but for the no-throttle-at-turn-in; "floating" the car on entry without pedal inputs won't get the weight where you want it to be (nor as much of it as is available) for LRP's fast corners like the Uphill, West Bend and especially the Diving Turn - and you certainly won't want to be trail-braking into those. Simply, obviously, don't overdo your post-straightline-deceleration "maintenance" and "building" throttle, which should just coincide with the smooth (but rapid in the Downhill, or two-step in the Uphill with the compression) turn-in.

Unfortunately, the only time you'd get to experiment with TTO over 100mph at Lime Rock would be while you're coincidentally setting a new treaded tire track record, so maybe something to worry about at VIR's Esses instead
