Also you have these guys who buy high dollar suits thinking they are buying the best of the best. These are the same guys you pull up to the track in brand new ducatis with nice shiny paint and wreck in beginner class. I have seen top of the line Dainese suits (retails over $3000) shred apart like a t-shirt from a slide in the grass.
Or the guy with the 1000 gets his ass handed to him by a 600 on a drag
If you want to be fast, you have to push yourself, and you will crash.
In the end, it all matters on experience, hard work, and patience.
