Cross-post from the 993 forum. Here are a couple of laps (behind another 993). Any constructive criticism?

The first thing I notice is your safety. You obviously are getting faster and it's time for a Hans or some H&N restraint system. At those speeds 1 mistake could be a bad accident. W/O the above your taking a big chance. Your belts also look loose.
The excess shouldn't be flying around. It could distract you. Where is the seat back behind your head? Doesn't look safe to me.
Look ahead more and hit the apexes. Wear gloves and try to keep your hands around 9 & 3.
Hope this helps

Ditto on safety. No Balaclava? No Gloves? No Hans? No suit? YIKES!
Seriously you are driving NAKED with a helmet. Think about that for a second.
Also this track your on looks so sketchy. Along with how narrow it is the high dirt elevation changes just off the turns is ripe for roll over. I'm sorry but I can't recall this track.
Do you have a roll cage?!

Spokane County Raceways! I love that track.
The safety gear seems to be what would be typical of a lapping/DE car. Not that it is really sufficient - even though not going at "race" pace it is plenty fast to get hurt. I would have somebody look at how your belts are routed/wrapped. It doesn't look right. However, the lines taken look decent to me.
A couple angles from a race there in July:
