"Racing makes a heroin addiction seem like a vague craving for something salty."
I don't know who said it, but they were right.  Run while you still can! ;)

Welcome Tim:

Just one (another) BIG rule......
ALWAYS KEEP IT FUN!!!!!!
Great people, good times, lots of tires!!!!
 ;D

[tstruyk]

good advice on the "keep it fun" thats my whole goal.  If its not fun why bother?  It took too long to convince the fiancee that this was something I "needed" to do!!

I am sure everyone to an extent has delusions of grandeur taking home all the wood there first year.  Me?  I want to be just a bit faster or smoother than only one person...myself.  I figure the wins will present themselves.  thanks for the kind words all and I look forward to the good times next spring!!

"Next spring"?  Hell, why wait 'til then.

I've started already.  I'm the tentative Thunderbike champ in the Midwest and Great Lakes regions.

Oh... wrong thread with that "tentative" thing ;) ;D

Tim,

Welcome!  Remember, it's you against the track. Please have fun, that's what this is all about.  If it were about money, it would be called Work.

Welcome!

Yeah, it has to be fun.

There are good people out there.

But, advice can be misleading as this sport is so addictive, it takes people out of it before they ever really learn anything.

Smooth is fast.  But the set up of the bike is paramount.  Anything less, well, you work to hard, use up tires, and someone else goes faster with less work, a smaller tire bill, etc.

I'll keep it simple at that.  Enjoy!
