Lets face it , if you are any good , Club level and National level, is the same thing !
It's only the bottom of the pile that does the whinging. Gaz.

I think I have partially changed my mind about this debate.

I reckon the major reason...is ego...people who run to the top ten in club level...will be lapped and learned at national level. so...yeah ego I reckon.

Well yeah... i get lapped..

[GIXser]

I've ridden Gixser's monster, and it's prolly nowhere near the fastest out there, no, my old girl only does 250-260 down the back of puke, i believe that's not safe with guys doing around 320...
(look goddamit, you guys are making it look like I have ed's excuse book.....I really can't afford it, and my bike isn't eligible either ok?)

so youve got my book...... i thought id simply lost it

i believe mine is with 90 to 95 % of the other bikes, my problem (excuse 574 out of my excuse book) is my suspension...... and lack of nuts... (but mainly the suspension) im still doing it though..and havin a ball!!!

[FROSTY:Me]

Guys Im an old maybee coulda been. But one thing I do know.
If ya wanna win You have got to want it and be prpared to sacrifice everything for it.
I think the problem really is people arent prepared to do that anymore.

I've said that a couple of times and basically told to fuck off with no support.
It's not an issue if you've got others to race against back there. No-one wants to be last and a long way off the back and by themselves, I guess.

Sure. superbikes seem to destroy tyres, but my F3 tyre bill for the manfield round was $120. I'm a part-timer and was 3sec off the pace on an average bike but still had a good time, supported my club, and got to be part of it all. No idea whats wrong with the F3 and 600 kids - HTFU and get out there, pussies.
Watch them all turn up at the first vmcc round with new tyres, and having tested the day before...

Why does every thread need to turn into a slagging match?

Its seems too many people worry too much about what others can and can't do.....................who gives a fuck!
If you want to race Nats...........go ahead.............if ya don't.......then don't.

The costs are what they are.....get over it, I did. Would've loved to have done some rounds, but as I'd not budgeted for doing any it didn't happen. Simple!!!

Just a matter of interest.......................looking at the low numbers in regard to the SBK field, if the 600's hadn't been cross entering during the Winter series the field numbers would've been just as low as the Nats. Lower at some rounds.

Sorry man - was meant more as a friendly kick up the bum (mainly at my class) and didn't mean to slag anyone off (I hate that personal shit too)
- Its just sad we're prepared to see the nats go down the toilet when we should get out there when / if we can.

You meaning F3 im guessing svr? Shit, id be there, but I doubt id make the 115% qualifying rule, I mean, you cant do away with qualifying, thats for sure, safety concerns etc, but that puts pretty well all the 400 boys (and girls ) out, which chops the numbers down quite a bit. Once Ive got an f3 bike thatll scrape within the 115% Ill be there.

[johnsv650]

they havent inforced the 115 % rule at first 4 rounds, they hapy to have you there

Back to work ......

Get into it - and by the way, Impulses (remember those) from 20yrs ago were doin 110% of todays qualifiying times - your bike is up to 115%.
