Hi Cormac,

Nice pic, I love lockwire and lockwire related activities.

Last round of ST George is in a few weeks, Nov 7th and 8th. I've entered my first ever race and have no idea what's going on, but they're a nice bunch here. Only met a few of them in person, even friendlier then!

Cheers,

Nath

Hey Nath,

Glad to here the race meets are approachable, the only thing holding me back from entering is lack of skill. Current PB at EC is 1:49 so am holding off entering until I am lapping consistently a bit under this on the Honda.

Good luck in Nov, will come by and cheer you on and convince myself to enter the next meet.

Welcome mate.

49's are fine for racing at EC. may not be at the front of the pack, but you will have plenty of competition and a lot of fun.

When I started I was doing 2:01s and managed a 1:57 in my first race...you may just surprise yourself

True dat!! Nothing like the 'red mist' for improving lap times!
The back of the grid is also a MUCH safer place to get to grips with race starts...

Fuck that!!! They are all crazy at the back of the pack; it's like there's no such thing as a racing line.

LOL, well there can always be some creative lines going on. I do mean the starts tho.
I'd have been much better off with no riders behind me, rather than 40!

Thats awesome to know, for some reason I convinced myself that I need to be running around 1:45's to even have a go. Will come have a look in November and get myself into the first round of Clubsport 600 in 2016. Also like the idea of starting from the back of the gird. Watched some videos of starts posted by some of the members on this forum, it looks fairly hectic.

As Mick said, you're plenty quick enough to start out. Just don't get too caught up in the moment and let the red mist take over and you will have a heap of fun dicing with people the same pace as you.

Wondered where the special needs vests came from, now I know.
