Well today we got to drive the Millis 500 lol i got shifting now and after me and my partner got the shifting down we asked if we could pull the tralier around and he said go hook it up amd he let me hook it up and pulled it around the rest of the day and i practiced turning real close to the cones and never hit one i would get about a foot away from it but one guy pulled through some cones and hit it really looking forward to getting some more wheel time

Today all was all class work watching videos and taking quizs about videos then around 3 we went out to the range and practiced hooking up the tralier which i got because i done it with my dad sometimes it has just been about 4 years ago but i got it right everytime except once i had to pull up jt to center the kingpin i wasn't really off he just wanted me to get a little more straighter but tomorrow we start pre-trip and more hooking up the tralier and he said alot of backing looking forward to it
