FWIW Ken Condon said to me during one-on-one instruction that you should develop a "relationship" with the track. Get to know it in detail. That means choosing marks and hitting them every time... and slowing down until you can do that.

If you can't hit your marks, why not? Either you're not focusing on them, or you're riding in such a way that you can't get there. No matter which it is, the answer is to slow down and focus.

Consistency is where it's at.

It's the same conversation we've had before. Speed will come by itself. Get the basics right first.

Vision -- identify your marks and consciously look for them.

Consistency -- have a plan, but be adaptable if it doesn't go right.

Think ahead... Chris has said, IIRC, that he tries to think one or two corners ahead. At Palmer, that means he's thinking about turn 6 while he's in the middle of the 4/5 esses.
