Sure. Three months and 30 degrees from now.

I just realized that was my first pass ever down the track.

I sit higher than they do. You have to remember, I came from driving a truck where I could see much more in front of the car than I can in this Mustang, so I have to sit higher to feel comfortable.

I drive better when sitting low, and scooted way up into the steering wheel. It gives better control over the pedals and the shifter.

Yeah when I race I scoot the seat up a hair from normal driving but stay lower. I can shift better that way. ...plus I'm short so I don't have much of a choice. I usually extend my arms so my wrists rest of the top crest of the wheel.

I sit one to two clicks closer to steering wheel than I do from normal driving. Gets me better feel of pedals. Everyone drives different.

I not sure I agree with statement about 13-14's faster than 11-12's. my ole 12 was very quick for what she was.
