Doing good there... Race line it's something that will come naturally. I'm a bit new to track day but been in racing fort the past 25 years. I did slow down my pace a lot last time and I learn much more. For me its body position and have my arms and shoulder more relax.
Rule of thumb is corner exit! A lot of guys dive bomb on entry and upset the bike at mid corner and can't get out or back on the throttle soon enough. As pace pick up you don't charge the corner harder... just carry more speed through the corner and get back on the gas sooner has confidence build up.
Another thing a friend of mine told me, when you hit the apex your tire should be close to the rumble strip... not your knee. That's another 2-3 ft of track you don't use. I know... easier said than done. LOL Working on that one still.
