Going to bed the other night, I noticed people in my shed stealing things. I phoned the police but was told no one was in the area to help. They said they would send someone over as soon as possible. I hung up. A minute later I rang again. 'Hello,' I said, 'I called you a minute ago because there were people in my shed. You don't have to hurry now, because I've shot them.' Within minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area plus helicopter and an armed response unit. They caught the burglars red-handed. One of the officers said: 'I thought you said you'd shot them.' To which I replied: I thought you said there was no one available. :t-up:

With all due respect guys, and Annie, this post was about a first timer asking a few simple questions after reading some of posts he'd be forgiven for thinking he needs a £30K plus car and a £10K per season budget, Maybe he does. I'm convinced this is exactly why entries in the Speed Series are falling year on year. I've been around motorsport for over 40 years and have seen club formula come and go and the ones that have lasted are those that control costs. Until the Speed Series can have at least some classes with regulations that strictly control costs and enforce those regulations we will continue to see falling entries. God I'm starting to sound like Mid Life Crisis so let’s get on with trying to help people get into sprinting rather than frightening them away.

first job of the year now complete

Martin, Hi mate, i'm going sprinting this year, budget of £500-£700 quid for the year, will be sleeping in a tent or my pick-up and running whatever tyres ive got until they are knackered. I only want to be able to put the suit and gloves on to say "i've had a go". Will only manage 3 or four weekends but with 5 kids and 3 horses my car is the only thing that doesnt "eat" all week long. I'm looking forward to meeting Dodgey and Filfan in the paddock and sharing the new experience.... roll on summer i say :-) James

I can proudly say that I've used the Westfield every day this year so far.

how come you have two post boxes on the side of your house wuv

good work!!!

Thats a great job Gary. It's one of those fairly small jobs but makes a huge difference. I'm sure we've all spent time strapping the harnesses on and then find our damn near side mirror needs adjusted, then we have to go through all the PITA faffing about getting unbelted, adjusting, rebelting etc. Thats me got a new job on my winter list now. What sort of price did you pay for the mirrors?
