To those of you who may not have heard (Team Ghost) have taken on board an apprentice my son Dean, he has never been on a race prepd bike,and never even done a trackday. So yesterday we put him in at the deep end,at not so sunny cadwell to test HIS water and his bits under the spout, well he didnt disapoint myself or Phil and ended the day with a 2.19,. You may grin and think thats slow but i have seen class A&B bikes over that time. All in all a good first atempt at what i hope will be another DD contender, well done DEAN from all at (Team Ghost).

It was grim in the morning but Dean progressed each session, bike is fine so just track time required now. Good job done Dean.

Go Dean.

Take around 10% of your time as an indication of what your dry time would have been on a first time out.

Now to complete the transistion to racer, take all your money and spend it on stuff you really need. Then spend the next few months wages and all your savings too. Now you are a racer! (oh and spend other peoples money too!)

Simon I don't need to waste money on extras bike runs great got all my gear and most important I've got the best team in DD paddock for advice and knowledge.

In my opinion that is......:-)
