Tristan,
Congrats on the first practice!
Rule #1 - Try not to spin out.
Ya, it's exciting!!! But......
How did your car seem to handle? Did you just get in over your head (got caught up in the moment)? Is the car loose (wants to come around on you)? Or, do you need to get more seat time to get used to the car?
For sure, get in all the seat time you can before race day. You don't want to be wrecking your equipment or someone elses.
Drive fast, Stay focused, But BE SAFE!
Post some pics of your car when you can.
Best of Luck this season!
Be Safe,
Steve
