with 18 laps there's room for tactics!
 

I've been thinking that with 18 laps we'll have time to employ some crafty race tactics. So I've invested a great deal of time thinking up different scenarios and race plans.

Now I know it's probably not a great idea to share my race tactics with my competitors but this is about the best I've come up with.

First, Make sure I don't run out of petrol!

Secondly, The most important thing, and this is the clever bit, Stick my fingers up each time I lap Mr Appleby!

and thats about it really,

You forgot one... Check your tyre pressures!

my main tatic has been to improve my counting, In the past I found counting up to 12 known to many as a Dozen but not a Bakers dozen which I understand is more than 12 got me through most situations, but over the winter I have attended special classes and now have the ability to count up to 20 just to make sure i'm in a good position to deal with 18 laps :)
Now to make use of this new found ability I need to make sure I don't get laped by pulling my finger out as soon as the Red lights go off :p

What d'yah mean? tyre pressures?

I know the bike can do 18 laps thats not the problem, not sure about the rider though, so my tactics are to avoid getting lapped by any other class B bike, other than that its game on :)

I think that anyone not doing sub 1m3s laps will be lapped.

Does that involve use of toes as well? Isn't that a bit dangerous?? :lol: :lol:

this is a big IF,,,, but IF you consistantly lap at the lap record and IF I consistantly lap at the lap record, I'll be right behind you after 18 laps! so it is possible that you could get lapped yourself! I'll definately stick my fingers up if that happens, All in good fun you understand!

I would have thought that would be a fairly good lap time in the WET, so whoevers doing the lapping must have some Big *******ks

Remember to take you right hand off when you want to stick two up. :lol:

and where do you think yer gonna stick em.................:confused:
