Nice one Mike! I too have simple and realistic goals too, I'd like to just get to a couple of races......as we get older and have families, allocating time seems very difficult......

Mike, what region are you racing mate?

I'll be doing as many South regionals as possible, and will probably try to do the minimum 7 nationals I need to get a ranking.  I've only ever done the odd national, never enough to get a national ranking, so I might as well try to get one this year.

I'm looking forward to racing 40+ this year as I think we'll have a deep class with all the people coming back such as Spillers, Billy Stupple, 796, Darren Vickers, etc and others (and it'll be good to race people my own age).

I guess you're in between regions in Dorset (South West and South).  30-39 Cruiser has been a lot of fun over the last 2 seasons, even though I finished near the back/bottom of the rankings every year  :-[

gossa:
