Don't forget to modulate rear brake pressure as needed. If you start getting frustrated, go back to the slow race and get a feel for the friction zone. Once you are in the FZ, stay in it. Too many riders find it, then pull the clutch all the way in and try and pop it out and find it again. That makes things difficult. Find it and "milk" the clutch lever back and forth in tiny increments working the FZ.

Lastly, head and eyes. I find it easier to fix my sight on something off in the horizon. A tree or some other spot on the other end of the parking lot behind you. This gives the rider a visual reference to ride towards, and will smooth everything out. If the eyes wander, the bike will become unsteady. This is the epitome, or perfect example of the old saying "Where you look is where you will go."
