I got my car about a month and 2 weeks ago. There isn't a secret compartment lever that can adjust the steering wheel position?

The reason why I would like to re-position it is because when my left hand is on the top of the wheel (12 o'clock), while driving, I have a hard time looking at the rpms increase rapidly, thus I have hit my rev limiter a couple of times.

I guess I can position my hand at the 10 o'clock position, but I usually put it at the 12.

Anyone else experience this?

It doesn't have any adjustments. When I took my first track session, the instructor wanted my hands on 10 & 2. I'm driving with both hands now instead of just one.

If you are going fast enough that you need to worry about red-lining, you should definately not be one handed driving. Our steering wheel has a little notch to show you where to put your thumbs. Right around 10 and 2. Your hands should be there when you are not actually executing a shift. You should read a book on Autocrossing or Racing and you will learn a lot about driver position. For a quick read try "Secrets Of Solo Racing". I think that is the one I read last year.
