There's some bad habits that I think you ought to correct before the next event.
You need to be PATIENT with the turn-in. Way too early on alot of the turns, that's why your hands are always busy fighting the steering wheel. And you pinch your exit. Learn to unwind (if you're not early on the apex) after you crest a turn will allow you to get on the throttle earlier and therefore have better exit speed. All that see-sawing at the steering wheel may look fun and exciting, but it's only teaching you car control skills, not actual "go fast" skills.
Sorry. I had to comment on it. If you have the opportunity, take some events with DCi, Driving Concepts Incorporated. They're based in So Cal and will allow a few convertibles. Otherwise take some BMW CCA events at the local tracks. They may be boring and strict, but 2 days with DCi or BMW CCA will teach you more about driving fast than a dozen days lapping by yourself (or with crappy instructions from other orgs).
That, or they'll beat the bad habits out of you.
