Last time I did a track day the biggest piece of advice was to move my upper body over more (there were many more but I wont talk about them here).
My body position (also not actually me)

Mick Doohan is on of the exceptions.
The textbook body position is to lead with the upper body, like in the first shot.
Look at pics of Ben Spies. Except for his famous "Elbowz", he has near perfect body position.
