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
