Steve just to let you know, I haven't raced yet or ridden my 620 race bike . I was happy for the season to start at Cadwell but then decided that as a Racer I should use the vote to my advantage. I still don't know which way it will turn out but for me the chance to actually enter a race without the points WILL help my introduction to the grid. It will allow me to practice at Brands and enter my first race at a track I am familiar with unlike Cadwell were I have only ridden one half wet track day on a set of renn sports without wets.

Like I said my first reaction was race anyone anywhere but after long discussions in the pub with my race support group I changed my mind.
So in my case do you think thinking like this will mean I will never fulfill my ambitions as a racer?

What am I do you recon mate Wimp or Racer?



Wimp............... .last year the majority of the field were " novices " and racing on a track we never had been on before the " woodland " circuit with the scary hairpin....everyone waited for the inevitable crashes etc etc.....yet did anyone suggest we race it as non-points....did any murmour rise from the ranks of the DD novices..can we race for no points..!!....no..........we just turned up and we raced..sure i can hear the reply now " bully for you lot "...my suggestion is that if it was not a choice you would just turn up and race..

Its a race....and it will be a race ..most will push it as hard at cads for non-points as they if it was for points....thats the ones that turn up..........






The Wimp will be at Cadwell, points, no points, rain, sleet, snow or hale and as fast as a wimp can go
I like the wet and seeing is over rated
