Try going to our "What we've learned on the track" thread and read about using your perifereal (damn, I can never spell that!) vision. You need, very much, to be seeing the whole picture more on the track than anywhere.
If you don't have time to be looking at the tach, you're doing it ALL WRONG.
You cannot be fast until you are both safe and consistent. You can't be consistent until you establish points to brake, turn in, accelerate, apex and track out of the corners and establish speeds (rpm in proper gear) for each.
You may thrill/scare yourself without the above, but you will do little other than hurt your car and maybe yourself until you do.

Not trying to be a smart ass, just passing on some expensive experience.
