The CEO Rookie Weekend Report - Page 5

On monday went with my buddy to the lot near his house. It was deserted and not dangerous, and we checked with a nearby baseball game that they wouldn't mind.

I would go from the back of the lot towards the access road, which was used for runoff and slowing down. All I needed to do was get to the top of first gear.

My buddy used his phone as a timer and turned it like it was the 1 board, and swung a rag as the flag.

Worked great, and I got a lot better. My technique really just wasn't right at all, I needed to roll into the throttle more as I modulated the clutch, to prevent bogging.

As I got quicker it did get a little hairy with the tires being cold though

Hopefully I can do what I did towards the end of Monday's session this weekend and I will have a chance at some 1sts.

practice makes near perfect, can't wait to hear the race results. Just remember on race day you will be pumped so don't let the adrenalin pulls an "Ebbs"

Congrats on the great weekend! It sound like you will be just fine if you can catch up to them the way you are. Once those starts get better, you will have fewer people to pass.

Piz, pick a day out of the schedule and let's go watch this fool. You're being the umbrella girl. My body's not ready for bikini season yet!
