Hey its our first so you're not on yer own mate.

Now, which way was that first turn...left...or...right?????

Is it okay to close your eyes when the red lights go out??

Not had much practice and we dont get much at the meet


I'm sure I'll be nervous when donning my crisp new orange vest.
Tentertively looking forward to the whole experience.

No last minute pr season mind games? An innocent "I've never raced before, is a 1.49 on the full GP circuit on the pace on a class B bike at Donnington or should I get some more pointers on racing lines"

Don't forget you're racing on a motoGP and wsbk circuit, the kickball equivalent of taking to the Wembly turf, Win lose or draw just make sure you enjoy it.


Ray.

What a damn good annalogy.
