body position check/progression


just wanted to get some pointers on my bp progression:here's my first track day at spring mountain. thought i was hanging off a lot here, but i was pretty shocked when i saw the pics. very upright and stiff.ok, on to track day 2 at streets of willow:definitely better. elbow and head starting to drop, but still not hanging off enough.3rd track day at chuckwalla below:between track time on saturday and sunday, i got my suspension tuned by one of the race teams. all of the sudden, the bike became very stable mid-corner and i got the confidence to come off the seat more and get the knee all the way down. shot above is at the bowl going counter-clockwise.tricky turn 9. upper and lower body definitely dropping further than at streets.here's the bowl from the other direction. am i over-exaggerating here or is it just the banking making the shot look funny? also, i'm still trying to get my outside arm completely flat on the tank. if i work on that, i should be able to get my head and elbow down more.this is turn 6. looked and felt really good through there. i'm actually working on tucking the knee in a little because having it flared out so much can get in the way of bigger lean angles. plus, it eats up my knee pucks.i feel pretty good about where i am, but obviously i can do better. this isn't a humble brag or anything, i really do want feedback so i can go faster. anything jumping out at anyone that i can work on and improve? i wanna get my elbow down by christmas! via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/8k5uyf/body_position_checkprogression/?utm_source=ifttt
