Now that could be a great season!

PrestigeCBR · 24-11-2003, 09:35 AM

I'm happy they are coming back to WA

And some of our riders would be keen to get wild card rides, Like Ben - am I correct in saying this?
I know I would be keen as mustard to get a ride! :twisted:

Man, that'd be awesome. We'll have to get the Perth Extreme / Street Bikes cheer squad going!! Get everyone to support Ben and maybe Calvin if ya get a shot!

PrestigeCBR · 24-11-2003, 09:58 AM

I don't think they have a Superstock! May have it as a support race? If so I'll be putting my hand up, If not - well I go up there and support the local guys like Ben.

Hell yeah mate, count me in!

I said that already! I don't understand why they must follow europeon summer anyway. And thats why the Australian round was changed (Philip Island) due to it was flooded out.

Even if they were to delay the start of the season by a month or two would work as well, start the season in July and run it through to November / December, you may have a couple of cold and wet rounds, but at the business end of the season would be fine for all spectators and riders.

It's too damn hot for a Summer series- and imagine starting your racing season half way through the year.

I will definitely be riding at the WA round, don't think I will be givin the top guys a run yet but I am going to give it a bloody good go.

Calvin- they ran the superstock championship this year and the grids have been over subscribed 40-50 riders!! At Phillip Island they had to run a Semi final type race because they had too many entries. It is taking over almost as an entry class so I couldn't imagine them not running it next year. Anyone with a MCRCWA race licence can enter the Aussie round and to be honest the other reason we lost our National race meeting for the last 2 years was because before then we would only get 3-4 locals entering....... Everyone with a race licence shouldbe out there, I would garantee you will drop your lap times by 2 seconds riding with these guys!!!

You know I'm jumping up & down with my hand up!! If I can I will

and your spot on there, every time I have had someone quicker than me up front, I have picked up time, even did shit like sliding out of corners - never done that on the track before (with good quality tyres that is!).
