A little sawdust ... but only a little. Nice driving improvement.

Got it Lance -- great video! Nice driving.... and the car sounds great and corners pretty flat!

The video was back on this site this time when I came to post this... I'm in Maui and using my iPad as my "wifi" link to laptop so maybe it was just a glitch for me - but thanks for sending it!! My wife was very happy listening to it over the surf... LOL

Thanks, I worked VERY hard on my driving skillz last season and feel like I made huge gains. I know the car is still more capable than the driver, but I'm getting there.

I wonder if anyone else does this? I can look back at last year in my mind and vividly remember the specific corners I screwed up as a driver that cost me a win, or a great time...on several different courses and days. I also look back at the videos regularly (one just to get me through the long winters) and play them through in my mind saying, "you need to this here, not that" to get through that corner faster etc.

The good news is, I'm really starting to recognize what it takes to be fast, the next step is making my hands, feet and eyes...replicate those actions.

Lance,
I always tell everyone when you and the car become one
then it is working.. I know it is tough to figure things out
when you make a bunch of changes to the car.. I am in that
boat now... Looks like things are working out for you
I sometimes tell myself to slow down to go fast.. pushing it
(unless you are Danny Popp) seems to work against you

And seat time, seat time are hard to replace
I hate to say it but taking mine out this weekend to the
coast for a spin.. suppose to be in the 70's here in Kali
No real winter here.. keep at it and have fun that is
why we are doing this

Bob

Is it just me or is that steering column moving around a lot??? Not picking on you or the car.... calling it out because I saw it and maybe it's nothing or maybe there is a way to "fix it".... Or maybe it's just my old sorry azz eyes and the shadows.

I thought your driving was pretty dang smooth! And maybe Ron will comment on hand position -- because I'd like to learn from this too.... but I was thinking that your left hand should stay on the 9 O'clock side of the wheel rather than coming all the way across your body?? IDK...
