    Well not wanting to continue a KB tradition of taking a thread of mainline; if you were ever asked what Super-power you would like to possess? Would it be Invulnerability? Super human strength? Speed like the Flash? Able to Fly? Create fire? The list goes on.

    I'd choose Incredibly Stupidly Good Luck.

    For example I could show up on my Raleigh 20 & beat all you pricks, -'cause you missed the PA call.

    So I choose 10. Just lots of 10.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    (6) Rider talent
    (3) Best tyres
    (4) Best suspension set up
    (10) Most luck
    (9) Most money
    (1) Maximum engine horsepower
    (7) Best braking performance
    (8) Superior engine managment systems
    (2) Best local knowledge
    (5) Most knowledgable support person/manager

    Talent being the main ingredient, then tyres. If you put luck too far down the order you might get taken out at turn one! I put mondey higher up because it means you can afford more tyres and test days.

    Thanks Glen that's another 10 mins closer to 5pm

    Ask Robby Bugden. He's had the answer most recent years. But don't ask Dan Stauffer unless your talking street circuits...


    Most important item isn't on your list... You gotta be Australian

    That was Strouds problem a few years back when he had won many championships on WP.


    Back to Glens question.... I don't believe Most money should be in there. All you need is enough money. Whats "Enough" is the question. And we are only talking about a 20 lap race right?
