Right then, AND THEY ARE OFF...my back marker self is nearly in the last row of the start as the field punches out a right smart start...to say that the racing in the SEMRA org is competitive is like saying the Scot's make a decent single malt scotch...not only are the scoots highly tuned, but most of the racers make their road going counter parts seem silly in skill compare...

the other piece to note is that at SEMRA events, you can book some serious saddle time, unlike other racing organizations who not only barely look at Minis, but also don't give you anywhere near the track time as we ran this day...entering two classes with a tweaked Derbi GPR50 (72cc now), I did 8 track events that day - 4 practice sessions in the morn, and a qualifier and a race in the afternoon for each grouping...and we finished with enough time to do more if your back and tyres could hold...NOW THATS THE WAY RACING SHOULD BE...hint hint to other orgs...and a tipped hat to John Halsey and his superb crew...
