View Full Version : Snetterton Race
Is the race at Snetterton set in stone as a 30 min race?
What do other riders think?
Would it be better to run TWO 10 lap races? (about 15 mins each)
Just incase the less stable of us (Me & Chris) don't make it past the first 10 laps of a 30 min stint ;)

30 mins will do me, never done a race of that length before so it would be nice to see how I feel towards the end providing I stay on the bike.
It just seems like an awful long way to go to get taken out or crash on the first lap... a bit like Cadwell really :sniff:
It's a 550 mile round trip for me :o
Plus, I'm bound to need a cigarette about half way through :lol:

Good job your not doing the endurance race then, they have to go for quite a while without a fag break and the first rider could easily trash the bike before the other two get a chance to race it.
As you well know, thats racing.
I could handle a 24 hour endurance race!!
...as long as I only had to do the last 10 mins :P
Domski, yes it it set in stone mate-it's a 'Time Trial' so was deliberately set at a 30 minute duration. Basically don't fall off-and you should be giving up smoking-you're an athlete you know............;)

You’ll be all right at snett you can have a fag on the revit strait.
The race length (if you stay on) shouldn’t be a problem because you get a nice rest on the start finish to
But the bikes will be struggling. well the 583s with no oil cooler mite Ant,s bike was coming back in and it was roasting like a turkey in the garage.
:lol:

Wasn't it Sheene that drilled a hole through his helmet so he could have a fag on the start line?

Oh! grow up. In 19 years or so you'll all be as old as me; and if your lucky almost as fast... (My God, I appear to have contracted Domskidue - itis)
:o:lol::lol::lol::lol:
19 years eh? Blimey, hope I'm as fast as you when I'm 58 :frog:
Maths never was my strong point

I contracted Old Man Itis in race one. Must have been from our chance meeting in the race office in the morning (T-Shirt) ;);):saint:
Settle down you two - don't make me put you in separate corners of the forum!

You've got no danger of it. Although if you stopped rubbing your chin.

Doooh! Forgot about the T.shirt.
That was 45 minutes from the end of a 6 hour race; and we were 5th in class - 'man of the meeting' - NOT.
Chin-fluf - do it properly or not at all is my view.
Now everyone hates me.
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
You guys are brilliant.
