Thanks again to all who have contributed to this discussion. Your shared experience is both helpful and greatly appreciated.

I'm looking forward to getting my alignment set up correctly.

BTW - jus ran Mid Ohio this weekend. Smooth runs, no under steer, very little oversteer, minimal intervention by the TC.

Slow in, fast out.

the more open corners that are "fast in, fast out" are usually more fun !

Yes - 5 sessions total that day, and times steadily improved throughout the day. Session 3 was the magic one where it all came together for me. So much so that after session 4, my instructor certified me to go solo on session 5! What a blast!
