Keep it as cheap and easy as possible. |
8 laps seems to take me an eternity but I usually only get 7 because Shep laps me!
Now for the serious bit.
I'm very new to racing and this series but I've paid my money so I'll put my view out.
I chose to start racing in the DD class mainly because of the relitive low cost involved, I'm sure there are plenty of others who did the same. If people are talking of changing bikes then I for one will throw the towel in, it was hard enough convincing the other half that £1850 on a bike that gets ridden 20ish times a year was worth it. If changes are to be made to rules and regs I can cope with that, as long as it's still OK to ride last year's bikes.
I'm no petrol head, all this talk of ignitors, pistons and pick ups means Jack **** to me so any changes will be done by a garage at a cost, the difference between H and ZR rated tyres will be measured in £s not seconds by me. There are quite a few of us who do this racing purely for the enjoyment and crack, not necessarily points or shiny egg cups (got enough of them with plastic footballers and darts players on).
I'm never going to be breathing down Shep or Tim's necks at the front but I hope to be having a bloody good laugh scrapping for 12th with Kenny or Coxy (no offence guys) in a few season's time, as long as I can still turn out on my Badger. What I'm asking is that us budget riders (ie us who simply can't afford to spend 3 days at Pembrey) are considered in any rule ammendments.
Apologies for being uneducated and ignorant in the make up of our trusty steeds but I don't want my first season to also be my last.
