So guess what the policy is at P1 Superstock....sod off all the Honda moaners and let's attract a new breed of racer...well some of us cannot accept that after already suffering what F4SA did to the series. They (P1) have used video of my boat on their site in promoting themselves and when asking them to remove it they say they had the rights and when asking them to produce evidence at the time they could not. The organisation is one that gets its own way no matter ...do you not see the History of what they did to their main classes in 2010? What happened to them? Last minute pull out and what did the UIM say about that? Check P1s releases - if they are still there...but of course today's news is tomorrow's chip paper...some of us will not forget they way the whole process was done and will not give up I'm afraid.
So this memory is going to haunt P1 and their cronies as I for one will not sit back and let them do it to others without warning them!
Check the recent history, check what happened to the main series, check out the real progress of Superstock year 1 and then consider what the impact was on all this on the m,ultitude of teams involved directly or indirectly.
XCat will cost you less if you team up with another so don't for a minute think you have to be rich to do XCAT you just need the balls and ambition to do it and then organise yourself.
And if you haven't raced before talk to people like Rob McCarthy and get your experience with classes like OCR then like Mark Walker you can progress to being one of the best drivers in the World and he proved that in the rough side by side with Fazza at the first turn boy...!

Absolutely, I've always thought one of the requirements for being a top driver is getting to the chequered flag first!

Done right thro Bob and maybe a few others,the new series could be massive and better still,a lot feckin cheaper.As it will be your own series no need to pay the likes of Curtis and cronies "fees" for wanting to join in or am i missing something?

Dowdy, I totally agree with you!
In answer to Tony. He is tops old bean he won the OCR series 3 times in a row and in Xcat made it to the first turn boy in the bloody rough side by side with Class 1 World Champions...after sod all practice and only 4 races. That gets my thumbs up for his ability. But we were so excited we overshot the first mark...brilliant! If only eh?

Kitten I cannot tell how nervous I feel when he decides to smile and wave out the window at the crowds whilst we have 2 280s running flat out....have to say he just loves people.
