[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1259295, member: 68872"] I second the statement about protective gear. I am surprised that you haven't seriously hurt yourself already. The concept of racing is to push the limit. That can be the limit of the track, the bike, or your own ability. The only way of knowing the limit is to occasionally exceed it, which can be a little painful. Your chances of getting up and dusting yourself off are greatly increased if you have the protective gear. And remember, it's not just you, there will be other racers that will contribute to your crash. Get a good pair of boots and a chest protector. I recommend knee pads. The next step is to just go find a race and enter. If you have a local track that has club races that would be a good place to start. Entry fees aren't much and the competition is friendly. You may find that due to the general lack of women racers that they will race several classes together, so you might be racing against much smaller bikes. This might be a little embarassing if you get lapped by a bike with half your power..... Don't let it bother you. Ride your race to the best of your ability and don't concern yourself with anyone else. Consider it a race against yourself, work for your own personal best. Enjoy the experience, don't worry about where you finished. After you have a few races behind you then you can start thinking about venturing out into more competitive / larger events. Rod [/QUOTE]
