flat corners

[04CR125]

hey folks i'm having trouble on flat tracks and taking the turns fast enough to keep my speed without sacrficing the turn. i notice some riders tend to "drift" or slide the turns but ican't do that for some odd reason. i ride a125 and i'm curious on what my body position should be and things like that.

i tend to slide me rear end to the inside of the turn and lay my bike flat. no brakes and good rpms throw me right through it. you should look at videos of some of the earlier flat tracking races.
