Hello to everyone at DSC.

Snetterton was only my 2nd ever time at a race meeting and not only did I love it I was lucky enough to have my 1st track day there too, even better was that it was on a 1098R!! (yes I did kack myself)

The experience left me wanting a taste of the action and after speaking to Cleggy and being in the garage next to Harriet I really fancy getting rid of my RSV Mille and giving this series a try.

I'd really appreciate some help with this if anyone fancies dishing some out, from getting a licence and bike to what to do with it.

Top board name!

I'm sure that you'll be overwhelmed with advice, but I'll chuck my 2p in now:

Class B - 583cc carbed bikes, big grids, cheap race bikes but some spares (new pistons etc) getting harder to find, plenty of racing action, but you might find 50-odd bhp a bit different to a Mille or 1098
Class A - 620cc injected bikes, small grids, plenty of quality race-prepped or cheap donor bikes around at the moment, a bit harder on the tyres with a whopping 60+ bhp, and if you're as slow as me a load of Class B bikes nipping at your ar8e!!

I'm 72 sorry, I'm new to all this this year, My road bikes are a honda sp2 and a ducati 916 but my 583 is the most fun I've ever had, racing is awsome! the 583s' have to be one the best places to start, everyones so helpful (untill your on track!) but seriously, It's really easy, at first it sounds like a lot of paperwork and stuff but its not to bad once you get started, give chris bushell a call and he will tell you all you need to know, and I'm sure that if you ask on this page someone will sell you a bike ready to run which I recommend having done the same thing and talking to others who have spent alot of money sorting an old road bike. also take a look at the code zero web page its quite good for a newbie to get a flavour of what its about.

oh, and the only thing is, you have to get used to being beaten by a lady!
