Progress has been good. It has started to become more clear, the performance gains when I do not let go of the wheel. It is/was awkward to try a different style. Is slowly becoming second nature to hang on to the wheel.
I'm just glad it was noticed by a buddy on the stands now rather than later. It's definitely going to take a little bit of time to get 100% comfortable and become second nature.

But I can already feel and see a huge difference.

I just can't wait to get my new radio!

Payday is Friday, new radio come on...

Update: Holding the wheel has been the single best piece of advice I've ever received in RC to date!!

Changed everything for me and have eliminated 2 laps slower with the fast guys in my class. I'm getting into the same seconds range as them.

Just need to work on consistency!!
