Clubmans for beginners

[quickbuck]

Mate, go Bucket Raceing. Learn your racecraft and make your 'beginner' cockups at speeds less likely to kill you or others around you and move on from there (unles you get the Bucket bug and choose to stay as many others have).
You can get an FXR150 ready to race for under $1500. The entry fees are cheap and there are lots of meetings. You won't get a better bang for your buck in anyother class.

Must say I did bucket race when it was literally at my door step.....
In fact one Easter I did see a driver and a swinger of a chair crash because they hit my door step!!!
Fun times, but after a while, I realised it was for fast kids (Karl Morgan, I think was his name), and gave up, as I wasn't a fast kid....... Or a fast SNCO who weighed 55kg....

So I waited until I was pushed (or realised I could ride as well as the young guys on the team I was part of), and hence I race a Ninja 250 when I am the other side of 40.....
So, give racing a go, no matter the class.... But playing on the big tracks is where it is at. At least there is a constant to measure improvements, as opposed to a circuit that changes week to week.......
In saying that, I guess bucket racing isn't like that anymore (It has been 18 years).

More people are now calling it F4 and F5. The bar has been lifted and the racing is hardcore. If you want to learn how to get comfortable racing hard with people on your wheel give it a go. F4 teaches you to think fast, corner fast and race hard. Give it a crack.
