My race preparation is - camping chair at that little spectator area near the bottom of the mountain, feet up with a burger in one hand and a Stella in the other watching you lot pile the brakes on into the chicane

Just taste testing the Stella now mate!

I'm ready mentally, but can we have a 12 month moratorium whilst I get ready physically? :P

Errr....I have the positive mental attitude bit sorted.....just need an engine that works,bodywork thats not knackered and a prayer for putting it all back together!!! Looking at the positives though...the bikes now about 100 kilos under the weight limit. Looking forward to going racing,its gonna be fun!!!!

I never am ready other than to have some fun and enjoy myself, racing is far more enjoyable when you don't get to wound up about it.

Should be a fun day out at cadwell... I just wish we were allowed mirrors so I could see what everyone's up to.

Should have time to stop by Jool's pitch for a coffee on the way to my victory.

Some thoughts from the 'other Aussie'.

Mental preparation - kummbyaaa, all together!!!!

First corner - I see two dilema's / choices, brake early and avoid the carnage or brake late to avoid the carnage???

Then - do you block the inside line or sweep around the outside line.

Jools - Please set up video camera at your preffered viewing spot!
