If anyone would have asked me before this video (my first from that perspective) where my hands were, I would have said 3 & 9, and believed it. After this video I couldn't believe what I was seeing.. Crazy
  • Not at 3 & 9
  • Often, when turning, the hand on that side lets go and grabs on a little higher, like on a right turn
  • Also on straightaways, the hands let go and reattach at different spots
  • I am pointing around like crazy and releasing my hands a lot
  • At least I didn't leave my hand on the shifter...

I just uploaded my last session:

It is a little better, hands are a little better, speed is up a little. Still some more work to do. if I combine pieces of laps together I can run a 2:00, in this session I ran two 2:03 laps, I think one of them would have been a 2:01'ish lap but when I came over the hill down into 10A there was a Corvette going really slow in the left lane and I braked early and was slower the rest of the lap. That's enough justifications for one post I think I just need to get a little braver and keep my right foot down more and carry a little (lot?) more speed in a few places...
