Older Newbie @ Round 5

[scuzeme]

Although i wasnt looking at entering clubmans until next year a fortuitous meeting on Sunday (if i can call it fortuitous) has got me chucked in the deepend for clubmans class this weekend at Mansfield.
I have the bike (Yamy r6 race bike that was raced last season) and the gear but no clue is there anyone else from Wellington in the same boat competing in the clubmans this weekend that i can tag along with? (i dont need a ride just some one to help show me the way round).

If not and you see a guy walking round asking dumb questions its probably me.

Lining up on the start grid in the middle of revving bikes, it's an awesome experience hard to put into words!
This is my first year of racing as well and I've had a blast so far, it's a very friendly (and competitive) environment in my experience.

You're not taking your Ducati to the track no?

[CHET]

Good onya, good to see new faces out there all the time,as for questions if the person you ask doesnt know the answer generally they know someone who does,its a pretty freindly atmos so have a ball.

Hi Darrin, Just get your arse up to the test day on Friday and get use to the track as well as the bike and you will be fine ok?. Goodluck.

[Duke girl]

P.S. Dont forget to bring the Bourbon with you (truck load wasn't it)?.

Hi scuzeme,
if you can get Friday off it is well worth coming up for a practice, $100 for the day car and bike sessions alternate.
By the end of the day I have usually done enough for cup of tea and a lay down.
Oh and It might be wet (again !!!)

What a terrible horrible thing to say

I will also be there, come say hi if ya get a chance, should be in a pit garage with 2 teng tools KTM orange Suzukis.

All I can really offer for advice is to familiarise yourself with what the flags mean, get up the front at riders briefing so you can hear it and listen to what mel says and then go for it!

I think we are full but if you get there early enough the stable bits are first in/first served and free.
