I still don't know which way it will turn out but for me the chance to actually enter a race without the points WILL help my introduction to the grid. It will allow me to practice at Brands and enter my first race at a track I am familiar with unlike Cadwell were I have only ridden one half wet track day on a set of renn sports without wets.     Like I said my first reaction was race anyone anywhere but after long discussions in the pub with my race support group I changed my mind.   So in my case do you think thinking like this will mean I will never fulfill my ambitions as a racer?    What am I do you recon mate Wimp or Racer?           |  
 
    Wimp............... 

.last year the majority of the field were " novices " and racing on a track we never had been on before the  " woodland " circuit with the scary hairpin....everyone waited for the inevitable crashes etc etc.....yet did anyone suggest we race it as non-points....did any murmour rise from the ranks of the DD novices..can we race for no points..!!....no..........we just turned up and we raced..sure i can hear the reply now " bully for you lot "...my suggestion is that if it was not a choice you would just turn up and race.. 
 Its a race....and it will be a race ..most will push it as hard at cads for non-points as they would if it was for points....thats the ones that bother turn up..........
