Make sure you eat lunch

As silly as that sounds, I believe you. It's no different from going on a big ride, need to have the fuel to concentrate aye? Cheers Henk

Any other advice?

bucket warm up lap... is actually the 1st race lap (warm up is from pit to dummy)

[Bren_chch]

u could also bring some women with that are clad in small bikinis! that would help me ride better!

Do they sort out grid positions before the racing begins?

I'll have a chat with my wife ,lol. Not sure if she'll be keen on wearing a bikini though, might be a bit hard to feed the young fella.

Take it easy, first time out so concenrate on learning the bike and track. Same goes for the first couple of laps in practice in any session, save the heroics on cold tyres for races where it might count. The number of people at the two hour in Auckland this year that crashed trying to win the practice start was astounding.

usually no pre positioning.. hence warm up is a RACE.


But yeah what henk said, specially as ya dont know the condition of thoes tyres... they may take 1/2 the day to come good.

Of course, some are known not to make it to the end of the warm up lap, aye Dangerous?

[ellipsis]

tools, fuel... check ya have 27psi in the tyres (how are they) and dont forget any riding gears like back protector... have a ball its an awesom track and not the easyest for a 1st timer hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

well there was this once time, but we were racing... just that the rest of the field thought they were returned to the pit cos there was a ambo on the track picking up someone else that arsed up in the warm up, me I was going hard out till...

[VTRRR]

Hey Bren, any tips about what to take with me as this will be my first time racing? Any advice to go with that? Really looking forward to getting out there and having a go, although a little nervous too.

Thanks Henk, great advice. I'm not sure how these tyres will go as Dangerous says above. I will be taking it easy to start off with due to not being on the bike before as you say.
What's the normal procedure for the day?
