My Top 5 Goals for the 2015 Red Line Oil Karting Championship Series

As new driver who is looking for experience, one of my goals for this year will be to participate in the 2015 Red Line Oil Karting Championship. Because this is my first championship series, I was advised by Todd Hayes from Oakley Motorsport that I should set 5 goals to accomplish throughout the year. This year, the championship series will consist of 9 races. All 9 races will be at the same location, but have different track layouts.

Here are my top 5 goals for the 2015 Red Line Oil Karting Championship Series:

1. Finish a qualifying session in the top 75%.
2. Finish a race in the top 50%.
3. Score at least one podium.
4. Complete at least one whole race (don't DNF).
5. Capture a lot of awesome GoPro footage so that I can carefully study both my tactics and my opponents' tactics.

For this year, I want to accomplish at least 2 of these goals. In my honest opinion, I think goal #3 seems a little too extreme. However, that's also the biggest goal I have on my list. My main focus for this championship series will be dedicated toward gaining experience and learning from error.
