Fear of losing - that's normally enough (yes, even last year!).

I've done the "Just race for points" bit this year and got beaten, so I'll just stick to trying to win instead.

No plans as such, but I do some mental prep in the week leading up to race day, and again on race day. Just try to convince myself that I'll be ok and run a few starts through my mind etc.

Can't give away too much, coz I don't want you bugg*rs beating me

I turn up with a bottle of lube ready for New Era shafting us again LOL

This years experience and fun I suppose, I can't do trackdays on my road lisence so ended up racing because I had no other choice I suppose, I figured the way I was going on the road I was going to hurt myself (again) or loose my lisence

I go out hoping I can finish in/around the top ten of class B and try my best to finish in front of whoever I chased last time out. This year's mainly for race experience and improving my riding, so anything that drags me along and makes me learn something new is good
