A dude over on Clubracer.net just started this very same topic, so I thought I was bring it on over here. If you haven't checked out Clubracer.net by the way, do so, new forum starting up with the goal of bring club racers across the organizations together.
Anyhow, moving forward. Hopefully everyone had a good, safe 2005 Season and we'll see even more new faces out there for 2006. What are you shooting for?
Myself I'm happy with 2005 and how it measured up.
Goals for 2005:
Get bike working and start racing in May.
Run a 1:30 by my 3rd weekend.
Run a 1:27 by the end of the year.
Get near podium.
Move up to Amateur if times are competitive and I qualify. (need 10 race minimum and .500 index)
Try not to crash!
NOTE: I based my goals / times upon what other racers had been running on Honda Hawks over the last 6 years starting as Novices.
Outcome:
Ran a 1:26.0 my first weekend of racing.
Running in the 1:20's by end of season.
Won multiple Novice races and finished on podium 3 out of 3 times in Amateur, including a win.
No crashes.
Goals for 2006
Win Ultralight Superbike Amateur Championship
Win Lightweight Superbike or Grand Touring Lightweight Amateur Championship.
Run consistent 1:19 - 1:19.5's by end of year (which is what the podium Experts mostly run).
Move up to Expert once Amateur Championships are clinched and be competitive there.
Run at track other than Loudon & be competitive.
Try not to crash!
I'd like to win all 3 of those Championships but I just can't afford to do that many races a weekend >:O
Geh. Can't wait for next season!
