To race or not to race!

We were faced with a difficult decision for this weekend.  To race or not to race!  Ethan is keener than ever to get racing and we knew of a race this weekend in Glan Yr Gors North Wales.  Ethan would have happily gone however as he is on his novice plates we thought it would be better to practice and keep getting those laptimes down before going further afield.

If we raced constantly over the next few months Ethan would be off his black plates in no time, but this does mean he will be alot further forward on the grid when racing (ie in front of other novices) This may not be to his advantage as he is not at a level yet to be able to compete with any of the front runners.

So the plan is to race again at Llandow on the 20th March and in the meantime get plenty of practice in to improve the laptimes.

In other news we also bought a larger van this week, hoping to convert it to a small motorhome for us all to travel to races when needed.  It may be a bit of a squeeze but I am sure we will enjoy our travels in it.  Will post a picture soon.
