Cool! Car sounds great, doesn't seem like it's leaning too bad either. Boy, does that track look like fun too - though racing there would be a bit of a job...

Looks like you gotta work on your hand positioning a bit...

Nobody really uses that track for racing. From what I can tell passing would be a chore. There are a lot of places where passing could put you in a bad position. NASA did race there in 05 and 06 but elected not to do so this year. And the hand position is a result of my seat position. Even with a smaller wheel my hands are hitting my thighs so I need to see if there is any way to lower the seat more. Right now it just feels more comfortable moving my hands around.

Ah, that does help explain. Yes, there are a number of things. Check to make sure your seat doesn't have aluminum spacers under it (between the seat base and slide rails) - they were a dealer-installed option. You can also fit a smaller wheel, be it factory (4-spoke) or aftermarket. Finally, you can use a steering wheel spacer, especially with an aftermarket wheel, to move the wheel closer to you and as a result further from your legs.

Of course, there's always the option to install a race seat and mount it right on the floor, but... $$$
