New girl on the grid

**Lozaah** · 28th September 2006, 00:21

Hi Everyone,

I thought I should introduce myself before joining the grid in the Nationals in January, thanks to Keystone19 for giving me the forum link

I'm coming over from the UK for 6 months and will be trying out Ross King's old R6 for size

I've only raced a ZXR400 at club level so this is going to be a huge step up - my goal is not to get lapped

Does anyone have any experience of the UK club racing scene who can let me know what differences there are, if any ?

I'm looking forward to meeting you all !
Cheers
Loz

We don't have to wear funny orange vests when we start out, and we all crash a lot when we start out.

Have fun while you're here!

My vote for best tracks here.....Manfeild and Ruapuna.

In a nutshell.The club scene in the uk is a lot more intense than over here.
The nationals do bring out the best in the country but even so the intesity is probably about the same as a club level meeting in the uk
Have fun
Ill be out there with ya--well on my SV650 in F3

Come one mate...you've just come out of a relationship. Keep your mind on your racing.

Whats that got to do with the racing intensity??
In the uk they arrive with a full spares kit--theres like tyre and spares vendors all round the place at CLUB level--The tension in the air is elkectric.
Shes in for a culture shock coming out here to even a national meeting

Nothing.

Racing is the same no matter where you go mate. It's what you want to make of it.
I bet I was one of only a few out of 40 entrants in the motard class at Wanganui that wasn't using tyre warmers.
Didn't stop me running in the top five or so bikes until I went to hospital.
They have numbers over there mate, that's all.

If she's good enough to run at the front here, she'll find it no different apart from the numbers of people doing the business.

If she's not, she'll be right at home running around with people her own pace.
That's not a slag off, that's an opinion.
And lots of people running around midpack and beyond will look more professional with their tyre warmers etc than some faster people.

That's racing mate.
