Can't say I'd ever really noticed any other riders on track!  Ali | |

some people make me sick! lol with that kind of preparation you really should be where i am but you're too bloody quick! for me definitely racing against certain people i want to be ahead of/not overtaken by. that happens to be around the 8th-12th places at the moment but i am hoping that will move up over time. not really for fun. although not battling up the front or for podiums i am definitely racing; brought home to me at castle coombe when i stupidly threw away 4 places on the last lap just because i wanted to get in front of anthony. just could help myself trying to get in front. loved it though. | ||

Sussex Mood: 900,900,851,750,750,750, 600,600,450,350,350,250 I try to balance as much adrenalin as possible for the longest time possible with as little blood lost as possible  So far the best event has been a 2-day meeting with 12 races, with 7 top-10 finishes in 1 day. Thats on bikes that cost about 4-5k to build (ie similar budget to dd). I think it could cost me about the same again per bike to get placed higher and still maintain the aforesaid balance  | |

Ummm... I race with fear! Fear of losing - that's normally enough (yes, even last year!). I've done the "Just race for points" bit this year and got beaten, so I'll just stick to trying to win instead. No plans as such, but I do some mental prep in the week leading up to race day, and again on race day. Just try to convince myself that I'll be ok and run a few starts through my mind etc. Can't give away too much, coz I don't want you bugg*rs beating me | ||
