    youre a racing machine Norm. respect. love that youre still ripping around on 2Ts & small bore at that! hope you guys realise how lucky you are to have all the racing options you do. we lucky to have one a month for 6 months of the year. so jealous. hare scrambles my bag, love the long races for seat time & to see how far I can push myself.

    can I ask what a typical event cost you to enter(before fuel/oil etc) as in to get a 1 day race licence, club licence & event entry fee? ours here are around $150-$170!

    one day club licence(must be a specific club member for most events) around $20-$30
    one day race licence(Motorcycling Australias cut) around $50-$60
    event entry/supps around $70-$80
    plus transponder hire $10 & bracket for holding it(buy once) $10. this is probably a cheaper priced event too!

    I understand insurance isn't cheap not to mention track marking/set up/volunteers etc but damn its getting expensive to race here. factor in food, fuel to get there, bike fuel/spares/repairs & its over $250-$300 for the day. hence why I dislike the shorter seat time races. want value for money so minimum 4 hours ride time what I want.

    sorry for partial derailment Norm just curious as to what racing costs across the other side of the world:cheers:
