It took some time (and $) but I finally got my first roadracing license in March 1999! Hooray!
In 1999, I raced a 1985 Yamaha RZ350 at Shannonville Motorsport Park...
But seriously, if I had managed to reduce my laptimes by 10% on ANY of the four
The above quote was my mantra at the track, and it worked well.
My other inspiration was watching Frank Mrazek in action in 1997.
I also had four goals for my first roadracing season :
I was the fastest roadracer from Belleville in 1999!
(and the only one)
I was the fastest competitor on a stock RZ!
(there were two other guys...)
Shannonville track configurations, I would have broken the lap records for
RZ Cup and Lightweight Supersport - and that was on a stock motorcycle!
(Stock except for Boysen reeds, that is)
- Steve Crevier, 1991
Thanks, Steve, for the inspiration!
He buried the competition, and was in his early sixties at the time -
so I figured that maybe I wasn't too old to race after all!
