May 12, TrackTactics coach for Level 1 was, none other than Melissa Paris. Now we all know who Melissa Paris is and of course I had to get as much coaching as I could from her. Learned new lines around turns to keep more of the tire on the ground so acceleration is sooner. Seemed to work well, course I'm not a big leaner or knee dragger so it was easy for me to use this method. Also, had a lesson in body positioning by Chris Peris. Again, very useful infomation, such as what to do with your foot when your knee is out and you're in the middle of the turn. Always seemed quite awkward to me, but he said your foot actually comes off the peg and is on the outside of the peg. Hard for me to describe but it actually takes the "where do I put my foot?" while attempting to turn issue away.
It was another awesome track day with TrackTactics and we will be doing it again Labor Day weekend at Autoclub Speedway in So. CA. Chris Peris will again be doing two up rides and maybe I'll just have to do it again. Hopefully there will be pictures of the ride, maybe even in a turn with some lean angle.
See you at the track.
