The only thing I remember about a first races was rumored to have come from Joel Robert when asked about sex before a race- he answered " anytime up to 2 mins before the start-after that you can't get your boots done up!!"
My only thought was "why do you have to take your boots off!!"
Cheers and good luck on that first race :D

After doing my first race last month,
Walk the track before the race,
Ask someone on the day, they may just give you a pointer about teh slipery exit of a corner like the one at nepean before the straight..
Last but not least. If you have a lovely Garage queen sitting in your rumpus room be prepared to turn it into a race bike for the next meeting...

EVO550 got it right. Win the night before then the races don't seem important.

I've had fun at most of my Viper events, the ones I can remember.

Wait a minute, I dont remember any. Must have had a wow of a time.
