To explain my rebuff is as follows,
every lap at the weekend i would get on the gas early throught the chicane, sling shot past other minitwins only for them to then accelerate away along the back straight, not just pull away slightly but **** off from view! I could name names on here of lads racing on what I know are modified sv's as minitwins.
I accept the fact im no Valentino Rossi and yes other lads have more talent, I understand corner exit speed can then dictater the speed on the next straight, we have all got it right and indeed wrong on the same corner sometimes and seen the difference it makes. Tony and I are making a valid comment about pure straight line speed.
Getting a corner right, passing people in the corner or even catching them around the corner only for them then to pull
sharply away is NOT playing fair.
My personal view is next year it might be worth an extra tank of diesel in the van to go and RACE with others on a level playing field.
Thats all we want in the northeast.
If people want to modify their power then let them be man enough as other have to sign up to the Lightweights.
Please this isnt an attack on yourself as ive seen how smooth you are, but its about time people got off the fence over this issue!
I think we could end off with a bad name for ourselves !!!
