Things I forgot at BHF this Saturday:
1. When you think you've hit a false neutral and have already reached the turn-in point, just pull in the clutch and allow your momentum to carry you through the turn. Then, upshift before letting the clutch back out.
2. Downshifting into 1st gear and dumping the clutch at 40 mph is a very, very bad idea.
3. Don't practice trail braking for the first time on race day.
Better to pay a little more $$ to the equipment manufacturers today than to pay REALLY MORE $$ to the medical professionals later. My Arai helmet, Syed leathers, Teknic gloves/boots and Bohn back protector performed flawlessly.
