How do you do this?

I'm no expert unlike many of the gurus here, but the one piece of advice I can give is to look as far down the track as possible.

Yah! What he said! Stuff happens way too fast 5 feet in front of the car. I don't look there, too scary! Chances are you have a habit of not looking down the track far enough.

The more seat time you get the smaller your errors become and the more you are in tune with your corner entry speed. The most challenging thing (I think) in instructing blue students is that often they don't realize that they might enter a turn 10-15 mph faster than they ever have! An instructor might say "you're ok, just realize you are going 15 mph faster than you normally are here, brake early"

In the instructor group its more like a 1-2 mph variation in a turn from lap to lap.

As far as the relative speed between regions -- our groups are relatively fast. Even within RTR the top half of blue and the entire white group are not that different in speed. It's still a huge hurdle in terms of run group promotion because once you are in white you may never see an instructor again. Also most white and black drivers never ask for instructors to ride with them, which I think is a waste of available free resources.
