    Not sure if this should be here or the racing section.... But.....

    This year I have decided to go racing with BMCRC in the Rookie 1000 class on my blade.

    Done my acu license a couple of weeks ago and then race school at Brands the following day. I have just sent in my application for the first race of the season at Snetterton 300 on 24th/25th March, and I'm bricking it!!! :)

    Pics here from Brands race school, I'm on the all white #78 Fireblade (obviously)! ;)

    Cheers guys.

    Entry is around £250. Tyres will be the biggest cost though I think, so I've got hold of a few sets of scrubs!

    So, anyone fancy throwing me a few quid to put their company name on the bike ;) coverage on MotorsTV

    I prefer the big bikes, love the power from them and never used anything smaller than a 750. Had an 04 blade as last years track bike and loved it, by far the best track bike I've had so when the 08 came up at a great price I had to go for it.
