J&S Aprilia Superteens - Brands Hatch Race 2 crash

[mongoose301]

I started from pole in this race and was involved in this crash, sponsorship is what pays for racing at this level. I am by no means well off, some are.

It's how you market yourself based on results in lesser (cheaper) classes that gets you on the grid in a championship like this if you are not very well off.

I agree, I race at a similar level and horses are no way as much as motorbikes, give last season for example I crashed out at thruxton and I snapped the bearing and blew the exshaust and it's alot more than horse an then just taking part and the travelling, horses don't come no where near the cost.

Lucky ass rich kids...I hope they treat their parents very very well!

Stay safe!

@jballzzz some of these kids have parents who work very very hard to get there kids racing and are in no way financially secure, i should know my nephew and niece race in a class below this and it aint easy getting the money together. so please get your facts straight before you comment!

that looks expensive..

[worldwar2madman]

yeh i spent roughly around £1000 getting ym BSA bantam up and racing and thats classic! this must be roughly £3000 for the whole deal including bike!

[RIZZKK]

it ain't embarrasing....it's painful

[Elsparrow]

Amen to that, coming off bike also gets you with the shock if you ain't a racer.

[elliot52]

does if u are a racer your still in shock y did u think u wouldnt b ?

kinda stupid

[Elsparrow]

Not to the same degree.

Racer's deal with it as it's an occupational hazard, street riders don't expect it.

[elliot52]

i race and u dont expect it still and that occupational hazardstuffs crap it still gets u in shock either way u cant really tell if u are goin to crash until the last millisecond
