trouble with entering Thunderbikes in its first year is you can't be sure if you have made the right choice, bit like fitting a Big Bore kit to a 583 Desmo Due and expecting it to be competitive with a 620 injection bike.

Better the known routes, like Sound of Thunder. Quite a few Ducati's about that can be raced at club level with out being over the top.
Dallas picked up a good bike at the end of this season for £5k, Garry Smith has a bike that has won this year and hasn't cost the earth. Ian Harrison (are you still about Ian) had a race wining bike in the form of his tweaked 998S, Deano has been wining races at North Glos on his 998R and Simon Knowlson did the odd outing on his 748RS including the one where he finished 2nd at Castle Combe in the SoT race.

Felix is building something a bit special as it seems is Tim Radley of Race Developments http://www.ngroadracing.org/phpBB2/v...=sound+thunder

As well as DD I hope to do the odd Minitwin round and if funds allow may have to go and mix it in the odd SoT race just to remind a few mates I'm still about

Hmm Kev - does that guy still race a CB500 in SOT at NG ?
I may come out to play if so - practice n all ;)

skidlids 30-Nov-2005 00:58

lin I think he may have been out a couple of times this year but now that they have Minitwins on the same grid he should be in that class unless he has been a bit radical with the bike.

Hope to do the NG practice weekend at the begining of the season, they also run the ACU training course that weekend, Senna3 did it last year.

Only worrying bit is the temperature I arrived there on Sunday morning to find Dallas and Senna3 recovering from a night in the van where the temp inside the van dropped to -4 degrees C

Been there done that Kev - One thing about Pembrey is when it's cold it's bloody cold!
Whens the practice ? - I practicing in Aus in Feb :D Think it may be slightly warmer there ;)

skidlids 30-Nov-2005 01:21

NG practice was the last weekend of Feb this year and will probably be around the same time next year.

Looks like NG maybe doing Cadwell on May 6th, so if it doesn't clash and I have the money then I may enter the Minitwin race.

phoenix n max 30-Nov-2005 01:34

Ok Kev - will check out NG website but looks like I can't make that as won't be back till March 3rd.

Will await more dates :)

I can see a mass defection from Dd the way things seem to be shapeing up.
we are most certainly looking at the possibility of doing it,using the 1000 ds as a base.
