Drop your head down and to the left. Also swing you left elbow out and forward some. Ultimately you want to have the bike make the turn with the least amount of lean angle possible.

It's a bit dim and grainy - I'd go with a little more exposure and lower ISO.

My suggestion is you purchase the photo as opposed to taking a picture of the preview screen trackside with your cell phone
I did purchase the cd I was just too lazy to upload it so it goes to the pic of my phone

In that case, I will remove my foot from my mouth. Good on you for purchasing and keeping the photographers coming to trackdays.
As far as help with improving, I must ask: Is this on entry, apex, or exit of turn 2 at thill?
Thank you and I agree with you and keeping them coming to the track.
Yes it is turn 2 almost to the apex at thill any input would help I'm not fast by far but I will strive to get there

First point would be to move yourself closer to the curbing of the track in order to straighten out the line as much as possible. Body positioning means nothing without proper line choice and throttle control.
Move your butt a hair more of the seat toward the inside of the turn prior to entering the turn, not during the turn. Move your upper body and head down and inward. Take the pressure off your arms and support your weight with abs and legs. Prepare to stand bike up to reduce lean angle as you accelerate out of the turn with a smooth throttle action; more gas = less lean.
Finally, take pictures with a gain of salt. They don't show the complete picture of what is occuring dynamically, use video.

Z² Track Days
Assuming you mean 8/26, come to the Body Positioning class in the main building after lunch. Even if you've already been, you might learn something new. It goes on during A group - all B/C group riders are welcome.
See you soon!! :ride
I will be there for sure every z2 track day I have been to the instructors are the best Craig helped me out last time :thumbup

while I agree that your recommendations are better (much better!), I do think getting people to analyse a photo has merit and you can definitely learn from this too. At least I've been learning from looking at pictures of me and pictures of others and discussing them with better riders. it's an excellent way to improve when you aren't on the track and in between times when you are at riding school / riding with an instructor. IMO.

You can criticize a man's body position, but his choice of clothing is going too far! :laughing
