You dont need anything special to race except the desire to have a go while you still can.

I am definitely not fast, but I have such terrific fun racing within my limits that it would really mess with my life if I couldnt do it.
Having been to numerous meetings now, Sue has even considered having a go, because racing is even safer than a track day, but the one thing that puts her off is the pressure to get everything right at the right time.
That is really the biggest negative - you have to be ready to perform on demand - but it is possibly responsible for the height of the buzz youget too.

So, the moral is ... have a go while you can.
This is the cheapest, most accessible, most responsible series running.
You *will*beat yourself up in a few years time if you dont.


(What will I be doing on monday evening ? Prepping my classic race bikes ready for next weekend at lydden, then the weekend after at oulton. Will I win anything ? Who cares !)
