I still consider myself a novice racer as a total of 3 SoT meetings last year yielded 2 crashes and 3 finishes, but I don't consider that not having a 620 prevented me from winning at CC.
The guys in front of were either on very similar machinery and rode better, or were on "better" machinery and rode better.
There was no one out there who beat me just because they had a "better" (= newer/more expensive) bike - in fact if anything it was the other way round, Fil, Ali and Mark didn't even have the much-vaunted flatslide carbs that I did!
This was supposed to be an entry level racing series, and ok maybe there are some guys who maybe have the advantage of talent and machinery, but it is a RACE series and therefore it is COMPETITIVE. Even if we all were given identical bikes (DUK please note?) those who are better racers (I try to choose my words carefully) will win.
Mark my words, there will be a carbed bike in the top three within the next couple of rounds.............
