| Re: Local racing is on the menu... Buy lots of spares---you will be bummed about not being able to finish a race because you dont have a rearset or something--many times the stock stuff will do in a pinch.
For example on the 1000RR---the clutch resovoir always gets destroyed in even minor wads.
I have NO idea how fast you are relatiev to the field--but oen can never do too many trackdays before racing
Regarding top novice---take it as it comes--sounds like with all the races at the same track--you wont have to worry about much travel "attrition" ---but showing up at at the races is gonna help alot
Finally get used to passing--starting DFL and getting to the top ten in six laps can get interesting.

Passing is definately something I need to work on. Any tips? | |
