Blimey - it seems every DD racer is gonna be up for Donny!!
Many recent conversations and postings with the DD'ers (and crews) seem to be pointing to an expectation of stepping-up, retribution, revenge or recovering for the August 13th spectacular.
Maybe its a mid-season, month lay-off type of thing that's given rise to an air of heightened expectation and anticipation.
Wilcard pilots, uprated steeds, freshly-schooled techniques and re-focussed application will all be on show.
- can't wait!!! :biaggi::biaggi: - its gonna be a scream!!!
Tim:ninja:
How dissappointing is that!
I saw "Donington Competition" and thought you were shouting a free track day!

Hey - great idea - maybe its time for a special Rattler award.
Maybe it could be ;
- brightest wheels!
- least sleep!
- lairyist(sp) boots!!
- most steamed up visor
- or "Best excuse for underperforming"
Yep that's it - maybe we could make some early nominations for this last category, almost like pre-qualifying for the race excuses.
I'll start with;
- "Poor preparation - I've only done Donny 18 times, I'd have cracked it on my nineteenth visit" ;) ;)

I've done Donny 3 times... 6 & 7 years ago!! :(
Do you still turn left at Redgate? :lol:
Hopefully we'll have 60bhp for Donny, and I can get my dirty mits on a pot at long last... fingers crossed!
:D
I've never been to Donny, my bike won't be running, my legs have fallen off and I'm blind. I'll be happy with a top 10.... :lol::lol::lol:

I'll be beating Domski and Geoff Spencer :D Yeah right. On the other hand I'll be enjoying Redgate and avoiding the gravel.

Yea but i missed that, or i could have repayed the compliment........
Mr rossi and co will be there 3 weeks before us so the track will be nice and clean with pretty grippy white paint.....and lots of black lines showing the perfect line, Just dont follow sete`s rubber or you may be in the bar with me and domski.

I see the "also-ran's" are getting the gloves off already!
What? The "also ran" who ran in front of you for 21 laps at Snetterton with 10bhp less? :P:P:P
See you at Donny... I'll be the one 30 seconds up the road ;)
:D
I think Rattler is right ..!! i can feel inpending dread as i approach Donny...its like the storm clouds are brewing........EVERYONE is up for it....cept lil ole me..................im actually more concerned, excited about donny than any other circuit..its soooo fast.!!! faster than any we have been at yet imho! and prolly the fastest circuit overall in our series...be afraid...Craner curves flat out all the way.......wooohhhhweeee im excited.............
top 15 at donny is my goal....................:P

i think its great that soooooo many people are so bullish about donington. i'm really looking forward to it. clearly not everyone is going to improve so i guess there will be some quite ****ed off people at the end of the day. if i'm one of them i'll just redouble my efforts to sort it out at brands.
still going for top 10 though. aim for the stars etc etc.............

****ed off..maybe but at times i think we forget that we are novices and this is our first year of racing and we are ALL doing brilliantly ......I worry at times that we put too much pressure on ourselves and expect to much to soon..!..we gotta try and remember that this should be above all else FUN in a competative environment...........

sure. its funny how things change though, my most enjoyable session at brands on monday wa the first one when it was very busy and there were bikes left right and center (more of a race senario).
at the end of the day though if you are not improving in racing, even in our series then you will find yourself going backwards.
i aim to improve and want to push myself but as you say i still want to enjoy myself. at the moment its all working together and i'm loving it. when i'm not i'll pack it in.
seems a long way off at the moment though. :D
