    AMCC champs thanks and.......

    Hey that was fun just completed my first race series ever!.Learning as i went thanks guys for the tips and help look forward to doing F3 again,only destroyed the nsr 3 times so cant be to bad.
    One thing to bring up just my opinion but at the last round we got a seperate start from the F3 guys.For me it was great for a change i could see the guys at the front for the first time and got a better start.Its quite intimidating as a new rider to have a load of 125s come flying past you at the start any chance of getting the organisers to do it again.I think they set us off as the 125s hit the hairpin.What do you F3 guys think?.
    Another thing the races seem a bit of a sprint and are very dependent on the start due to the duration of the race i think its 6 laps.How about 8 or 10 laps this would give more time for some real racing,it always seems to end just as you start to catch up....think it would induce some good duels to again what do you think.
    Disclaimer.....these are just thoughts,opinions etc not to be confused with facts or me knowing what i am talking about.Please keep hats on.Thanks...

    NSR

    The nsr needs a new crank as the old one only lasted 15 years,the main bearings have gone can get a new one for $800 so not to bad.

    Well, shows how much you know! You ever tried a REAL hat anyway???

    I agree with you about the number of laps at Taupo, 6 is to short, unless the 125 have started to lap me
    10 laps sounds good, how much harder would it be to get this to happen?

    Taupo bein a shorter track they run 8 lap races.
    Fluffy I personally prefer more races rather than longer races on the whole.
    With the exception of being passed by KK on the last corner of a race---then I definitely prefer it to be like 2 laps longer lol

    Ahhh

    But we could have had 4 races of 10 laps at Taupo.Then again thats longer on the wet track with slippy tyres.Did enjoy not starting with the 125s though.

    BAH!!! Longer races are way better, hence if you fuck up your start, you can make your way back up the grid... I hate drag races to find your position even though you know you are faster than the next 5 people infront..
