I need to get out there but there doesn't seem to be many track days booked yet! Probably because it was supposed to be closed. Hopefully some organizers start booking days!

15 second improvement!? Nice work. Those were the days...

Problem is, it's still fun hunting for tenths, and as you edge closer to driver/car limits, it tends to become more obsessive.

Have fun.

Great job out there. Judging by your needing to take your hands off the wheel on some turns, you might possibly be sitting a little too far back?! I haven't run ACS, so maybe the radius' call for it, so forgive me if I am wrong.
Good test on seat position is if you can straighten your arm and be able to flex your wrist on top of the steering wheel and have your hand be pretty much entirely on the front side of the wheel, you are likely in a good spot.

Thanks for the info, I usually do the shoulder on the seat and wrist on the steering wheel, but I am 5 11. I am open to any pointers. Thanks
