[kye]

I'm booked on Saturday! And double transport arranged, plus a kind offer from Cleggy just incase too! I WILL get there this time

What groups everyone in? I'm in Inters

[DP]

Inters for me !!!!!

[andyb]

Why are all you hardened racers in the inters group?

What do they [Monster/SS 600s] do flat out? 100mph? 110? My old 600m did about 95. What do the 620s do standard? Maybe 115?

[andyb]

Yeah, cos theres a lot of straights at Donington, especially on the National.............

[domski]

I don't see what the problem is.

We're riding 45-63 bhp bikes, not designed for racing, most riders havn't even done 10 race meetings, and all of a sudden we're BSB stars ruining the inter group on a trackday?

Tell me you're on a wind up Andy!

The very fastest riders will only be doing 1m 25's, and if you can't do that on a 748/749/916 etc then you're over estimating your ability in the inter group.

Why is it when you've done a race meeting, all of a sudden you're a 'racer'?

We're just normal blokes AND GIRLS having some fun. Get over it!

If somebody feels they are better in the intermediate group, then it is their choice.

Just because you race a bike, it doesn't neccessarily mean you are fast on the track.
