Update:
I just got my bike back from the Indy...forwards switched back to mids (bike came with forwards) and rode home over RxR tracks, through sweeps, new pavement and gravel intersections. Major improvement in my center of gravity, back stress, confidence in steering and balance.
Thank you all again for the advice of practice, repetition and awareness!

Try looking ahead of the corners, don't look directly in front of you.
