Do you really think it's acceptable for a bunch of blokes to turn up in the paddock all riding pieces of crap kicked together from breakers yards, no warmers/awnings/gennies/vans etc etc etc and go play out on track ??

Maybe 15 years ago this is how people raced Kev, it simply doesn't happen these days. Think of how professional the paddocks are these days when you go to a meeting.

Also... they may be turning up a lot faster than you or i, but i dare say they have a LOT more ability than either of us mate Warmers are not just physical improvments, they are psychological too.....


Thats how i did it 10 years ago on a tzr250 had a van but that was it !! one set of tyres lasted me a whole season as i blew my budget on a stage 3 tune, tyre warmers are a waste of time in a club race cos by the time your called ,made your way to the holding area and rolled up to the grid they are cold again !!
