i often do the same thing...
...often on the straights, i'll force myself to either tap the steering wheel (piano fingers, as you call it, lol) or just stretch out my hands some...

once you've raced as much as he has, turning DE laps is pretty easy...
i've noticed, with my limited race experience, that i am a lot more relaxed behind the wheel (even during practice and qualifying)...
racing (even at the amatuer level) is so much more intense than anyone could have ever described to me and the actual driving part becomes second nature...so when your in the car just driving (DE laps, practice, or qualifying) it seems a lot more laid back...

better question is what are his entry and exit speeds in the setup turns
We can all mash the throttle, and at our level, HP mods can make up for a lot! The tough parts are the turns leading into those long runs. Just one man's opinion though....
Cool Vid Shanch. He seemed like a really cool, friendly guy! Would have loved to have him mash up the wagon a bit. Good thing you had a cam....

i've noticed a difference just from getting more DE days under my belt. when i first started, i
could barely talk...while being a passenger in an instructor's car. now, i'll find myself chatting w/ my instructor the entire way around the track although i do better if i shutup and drive
