After doing a few track days followed by A few race schools,and reading all the great reports of people having a go for the 1st time. I`ve got the bug , and although I think it will be too late for this year, I would love to have a go at racing, just club level I think, I live in Lancashire, what and where are my local clubs?.and how do I get in touch with them?

You will love it, i got my 2nd race in the next few weeks, cant wait.

Im with the Wirral 100 Club and they race at oulton park and anglesey, i thought of these as a start for this year then will expand next year depending how i got on this year, plus obviously for my first year i didnt want to stretch my wallet to much while still getting used to it all.

Any questions i will answer best i can, since im fresh to it myself. :D

loon mate how ya enjoying it mate /...??

Loving it matt, only done 3 meets so far, next one is the end of next month (anglesey grand) so cant wait for that one, 2 days of racing.

Next year looking to upgrade my bike to a K6 600, i feel pretty confident so far even with the K1 and i know i still got alot to learn but if i have somethin better under me i can hopefully be more competetive.

Hows it going for you mate?

:D

Im up at aintree in liverpool at the weekend but just to watch and to see if i can pick up some cheap tyres, im only racing in the formula 600's so with the Wirral 100 club im limited to 2 races per meet, although im gonna do aintree next year to have enough meets under my belt to upgrade my licence and there is more classes i can enter there, minium amount of races i could do in a day i think is 4 at aintree.

Its all about money though, would of done more this year if i had the money, but i think next year i will have more of a clue, be better set up (proper race colours, etc) and will hopefully have some more money to play with for track time.

Once i have my clubman licence i intend on joining a bigger club and do some more races up and down the country (well thats the plan anyway).
