Think Turbo dont forget mate that the target time is exactly just that - a target upon which to base the 100 point score. The actual target any driver is competeing against is himself and his machinery. If you enter any speed event in the knowledge that you wont be the quickest but you want to get your own time each time then you can't be disappointed. I would personally see the target time as a basis for personal improvement and an aim to achieve rather than a distant figure. In your class you will "win" class awards as your time on the day counts not it's direct relevance to the SS Target Time. I'm a novice with a small budget and can honestly say 2014 was one of the best summers of my adult life in the friends I made and the improvement in my driving of the old Mighty Crossflow. It would be very door to see you in the paddock and cheer you on if you decide to give it a try mate, Yours in motorsport, James Alexander

Its usual to start from ground level and then go higher before returning to terra firma

All new membership packs are complete as of yesterday ( 17th March 15 ) these will arrive with you in the next few days..... Mark

Wanted As the title says really, I'm after 32mm inner diameter hose in black Its for the bottom rad hose Or if anyone knows of a company that sells them Cheers (Ill delete the same post in the Parts For Sale section as I should have put it in this section in the first place)

Well put James, you don't know how good you are until you try. Richard------if I had been asked by Noah to design the Ark it would have been much lighter due to the carbon fibre parts used and would have travelled far and wide by using a fire blade engine

I've doggedly resisted until now to respond to your yapping but alas, I must take the lead and setter an example. This thread is so off-topic it's like a dog's dinner so a final word from the band, Bow Wow Wow .. .. .. 'Chihuahua!'

Weren't you part of the initial design team for the Ark Terry....

Well done Gerry for joining the speed series. Our arm twisting worked. Another Herts Beds and Bucks entrant

Hope to see you all at Rockingham but not as a WSCC competitor. I entered before joining the Speed Series. I'm in >2.0L Mod. Prod. Also hope it's dry. Did North Weald on Sunday and it was bitterly cold and wet. Horrible day for open top motoring

Think I started when Noah's ark ran aground and I caught an incurable pastime Brilliant and hope everyone has a great 2015 season

Old Skool Engines did OK on Speed series last year :-) i'm trying to keep mine going for as long as possible

That was pretty much the man-maths I was using when I decided to build another; it all started with wanting to get rid of the straight cut noise! (Though IIRC, the box I was looking at was more like £1800)

Then you have to buy all the other bits, you would need very deep pockets. To date my engine owes my £400.

Cripes! I beat a couple of target times in class A last year, and was a gibbering, jabbering wreck at the end of each run. In both cases, there has been a significant drop in the target times, so the heat is definitely on. Still, as mentioned above, it's the same for all entrants, and should drive progress. It's a good job I only eat pies with a carbon fibre crust these days... . I'm going to have to give some serious thought to losing extraneous body parts (and I'm not just talking about the car). Thanks, as ever, to the Speed Series Committee for the blood, sweat and sums involved in defining the times.

and they are worth every penny

Whereabout in Reading? Near junction 11 M4.Theres a guy who vapour blasts them for around a tenner and at the back of my work at Green Park next to the Madjeski stadium a guy who powder coats.All a proper job.Did my wheels and does various other bits for my car and as I say,cash talks.If you want something done,mail me and I will help you out.He does a matt,semi-gloss or gloss black finish.I went for semi,or though it looks fab,maybe the gloss would look a bit more bling. Did say he would powdercoat my mate Derns chassis he's building for £80( if it fits in the oven)
