| So were all boys then and so is every rider in BSB and WSB are they. I thought I entered a club race series for novices not Moto GP? I think we have had the laps reduced buy Two in each race already at the beginning of the year.
I actually think I personally will be better off in a Twelve laper (although I did say I was old and unfit somewhere I am in fact young and fit as a butchers dog) In most races my lap times improve throughout the race and I always feel like the race has ended to soon. I have entered SV at Donnington so will be having Two twelve lapers and Two lots of Quolifying. I will be doing the track day on Saturday as well. This is not because I am loaded but because Like Oulton last month I have never ridden Donnington and respect my own safety and the safety of the other riders. My concern is for the guy that may bin it in Qualifying or in the race and come away with a large bill and nothing to show for it in the series. I think that's the sort of weekend that can can leave a rider really wondering if it's all worth it, wear as that same rider can have a disaster in the first race and then still end their day on a high in the second. There is no argument against this fact as I have seen it with my own eyes at nearly every round of the series so far. I have seen the lows and the highs.
As a novice learning to race, the importance of Qualifying and starts in the sprint race format IS learning to race. It would have been nice to have had the Two Eight lap races we first expected.
I will be riding at Donnington because I have always wanted to and am financially able to. I am not convinced that the ONE CHANCE BIG BOYS BOOLOXS is for the novice racer on a very hard earned budget in the long run though.  |
