2008 1st runner up in the JK NRRC, the is bike is quite fast, we need to figure out how to take it to the next level.
Payment, basically I am racing on a shoe string budget, but I am willing to share 30% of my race wining and endorsement money. Basically there is no major future in racing but the passion must drive you.
I understand that most of this will be way out of your league but I am willing to teach you everything I know and I will concentrate on riding and you work on the setup, I can’t do both and mount a title challenge against the best riders in our country.
If this kind of stuff excites and you think you are the right person to go the distance, send me a mail
isbkracing@gmail.com or a PM. Tell me briefly what experience you have and also how you could contribute to a season of racing.
would've loved to help you out mann but I'm in delhi! Find me a good job there and you've found yourself someone who's very interested. ;-p
I know one who might be able to help you, he is a mech by profession but was riding for Yamaha some years back. has a good race/rally baground.
