I'm with Paul and Ian on this one,

We are running DD #10 to learn about racing on a budget and enjoy the series. The enjoyment for me is scrapping with anyone 10-20th and then being able to talk about it inm a great atmosphere later.

I have taken a long term view that is to get myself right his year and the bike slowly developed to a budget for a better go next at a top 10 spot.

My fastest race lap was top 10 in race two but my race craft let me down in hindsight, never been to cc before and never raced before ( SOT ) at Cadwell ( 3 last place!). So a 13th and 16th I was happy with.

If we can allow engine development of the 675 bikes as the rules are now and stop the 620ie bikes the series must get more competitive.

The scrap between 5th-15th is where the action is and this seems to be determined by what racing is all about???? setup, gearing, ability, qualifying, start, race craft, BALLS!

I had a great day on Saturday, roll on Donni, James is riding #10 at Snett!

And I'm on the home page, MotoGP glory!
