There is no such thing as your line in racing, if you give someone one mm of trak they will take it, even if you don't give it they will take it ! Ask weeksy about someone taking his line exiting gerards at Mallory

Back to the cost now folk realise it could be expensive I'll show what I spent this year

Already had the bike an RS250, also had a van and caravan and everything else to do with racing.
Bought wets and wheels £400
2 sets of tyres £350
Entries to 8 meetings approx £1200
Fuel, food etc £600

So that's under £3k, it is possible you just have to be very careful or a natural tight bastid like me. And having done this year this way I have set a budget for next year which I won't exceed barring repairs. It's the only way to race and not bankrupt yourself.

The control tyre is a brilliant idea, if only you would race proper motorbikes I'd be interested
