hi Jake (and others)
Sorry I did not write much the over night but as I said was just getting ready for racing
The FJ is mainly raced at Anglesey and Oulton Park against any pre 89 production motorcycles. The main competition it's against is, the Yamaha FZR1000 (their is even an OWO1) and the Suzuki GSXR 1100 slabsider. It is called Forgotten Era

Phil had gone to a track day a few years ago and some guy was talking about cheap racing, this series was mentioned and Phil had a plan
3 years later there are 6 fj's racing, (the series should be called fj racing + guests)
I just thought that people the other side of the pond and around the world would like to see this
websites for more information
http://www.fjracer.com/ (http://www.fjracer.com/), this tells you the story about well its just cheap racing to have slipper clutches fitted etc etc
http://tracmon.co.uk/ (http://tracmon.co.uk/) (this site is updating as i type this) http://www.trackpedia.com/wiki/Anglesey_Circuit (http://www.trackpedia.com/wiki/Anglesey_Circuit) check out the video to give you an idea
http://www.oultonpark.co.uk/ (http://www.oultonpark.co.uk/) more info herehttp://www.trackpedia.com/wiki/Oulton_Park (http://www.trackpedia.com/wiki/Oulton_Park) look @ the video on the gsx to give you an idea
are the tracks
btw Phil won yesterday (best lap of 152.5) (Best lap Ryuichi Kiyonari, Honda, 1m 35.436s, 101.54mph, 23/07/06,( information i just found by surfing so might not be up to date etc but gives u and idea as this is a British superbike with r+d of Honda) , his best lap time was 150.9 in the superbikes, (he goes out with them just to p1ss them off, and it only costs an etc £50 so y not)
his highest in the superbikes is about 13th,plus lets not forget the other five members, Steve Munson got 3rd and i cant remember all the results till i find the time sheets etc as this information is off the top of my head
so hope people find this fun and interesting and i haven't bored you guys to much, me i just loved been involved

Sorry for the single pics, for some reason it won't let me post more than 1 to 6 pic links in one post.
