Hi steve, Thanks for that. I think £1500 would be a good starting point.

A mate of mine living in Greece crashed his Westie into a lemon tree. He's still bitter and twisted 🍋 I'll get my coat.......

Do you have a price in mind? Not for me but I'm sure others will ask.

Yep, exactly right.

@Jakejmagee is planning on coming!!

Also very true.

No matter how tight your strapped in in a serious collision with something hard the cage bars might bend towards you helmet always

I’ll take them please. Pm me details etc thanks

Also, one other often misunderstood bit of cages. In general, the type of padding sold to go on the roll bar tubes by specialists motor sport supply places, is NOT to directly protect your (bare) head!* Its intended to reduce the initial impact of your helmeted head, hitting a tube, so the helmet doesn’t get wiped out on the first blow, and continue to give some protection as you’re bounced around etc, during a crash. *I have in the past, seen padding advertised as protecting you without a helmet. Not sure how much I’d trust it though, and it was much bulkier and way more expensive. But like all these things, everyone uses their car slightly differently, and everyone has to do their own mental risk/reward calculation, and do what they feel comfortable with.

Yep, lots of variables, type of seats, seat material, type of straps, 4 point, 6 point etc, then of course they have to be correctly fitted to the car in the 1st place. Size and height of driver. Some tall people find their heads are VERY close to the cage! I think on balance it's fair to say, if you have a full cage, best to wear a helmet. I may even start following my own advice! 😂 I have a lovely, brand spanking new carbon lid, so beautiful I left it in its box for the last 3 years, too scared to scratch it 😬 I think I will be wearing that soon.

Nobody straps in that tight in a road car though, that's the trouble. In fact at track days I've never seen anyone strap in that tight either. Even strapped in well you'd be surprised how much you get thrown around in a crash, it's absolutely violent as hell.

Hi Martyn, August 14th is good for us as we’re not available on the 21st, but we’ve not been to the last 2 meets 🫣 and September is the opposite 🙄 we’d be away if you bring it forward, take it easy Andy & Becky

Most of you will be aware that there are several membership packages available, primarily with and without posted printed magazines. Whatever membership package you have, if you want to switch it at renewal time, this is what to do: 1. IMPORTANT: Let your existing membership package expire first - you’ll see a big red banner at the top of the screen when that happens 2. Once it expires, log in to the forums as usual 3. Click twice on the Store tab (directly under the WSCC logo at the top of the page) to open up the available choices 4. Click on WSCC Membership 5. Chose the new membership package you now want, then follow the steps through to online payment That’s it!

Hi All done, thank you. Gary

Thanks Cap I'll have a look when I can get to a proper keyboard. Gary

Hi Gary Sign in on the forums if you haven’t already Go to the Store tab and press it twice to get to the Store products Go to WSCC Membership Choose WSCC Membership with Electronic Magazine, then follow the process to pay for membership That should do it!

Hi Ian Thanks, I've tried that once, could only see a straight renewal for printed. I'll try again later. Gary

Have you read this- Renewal if so and you're still struggling I'm sure @Captain Colonial will step in. Further to the recent AGM, we're currently without a Membership Secretary.

Hi I'm trying to renew from printed to digital magazines. I've let my membership lapse as instructed in emails, but I can only see a printed renewal invoice. I must be missing something. Can you help? Also I've tried emailing the membership email address, but the emails are getting bounced as "undeliverable". Again, can you help? Gary

The due date for our next meeting is 21st August. This coincides with the start of the Silverstone Festival so I will not be able to make it and others may be similarly affected. To avoid this I am considering moving the meeting to a week earlier, on the 14th August. Has anyone any objections to meeting a week earlier than usual? Also, the following month it may be better to move the meeting a week earlier to avoid it being the evening before our Curborough track day. What is the consensus of opinion.

That’s true to a point, but if you’ve ever been properly strapped into a race car by the pit crew, it would shock you just how tight “tightly strapped in” means. I doubt any owners will strap themselves in that tight while using on the road. Also, keep in mind, with some belts, the material they’re made of is able to stretch/deform somewhat to help absorb some of the initial shock of a bad impact.
