At this stage I'm gauging interest in a weekend at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon on the 19th and 20th September 2015. http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk/ There is camping on-site Friday and Saturday with a shower block but no electricity. There are various camp sites and B&B's locally. The idea is to get all areas in attendance and hold a number of events, perhaps corner weighting, set-up sessions, a run-out and of course one or more guided tours around the museum plus the obligatory BBQ Social. If you've any more ideas, happy to entertain them too. So, if you think you could get a strong gathering, please reply here initially stating: Yes (or No) we'll come Roughly how many of you How many will be camping Your availability to help organise and run the weekend If we get a good response then I'll make the more formal approach to book the weekend and determine costs, etc. and then come back you with a full plan. Thanks.

Hi My best 64.67 seconds Spent all weekend chasing the set up balance with Del's help (thanks mate), recon there is more to come from these stick slicky (sic) things once I get my eye in Cheers Barry https://youtu.be/h58xqQ3C3_E

IMO that rules out most bike engined cars - if you are always two up and (ahem) of the more proportioned gentlemanly shape, then you will probably want a car engine as the speed you get from a bike engine comes mainly from the lightness it 'adds' (as Mr Chapman would have said). I have just built a Zetec powered car with around 170bhp - although it is yet to be remapped after more than a few changes, so likely to be down on that figure from previous mapping. I took my brother out recently and we are a good 80kg each and my car weighs about 570kg fully fuelled and when I was talking to him about engines, he commented that it seemed pretty darn quick as it was! Of course, you always want more once you get used to it - or if you get overtaken on the straights at a track I guess!

Oops!

That at would appear to be my gloved hand on the top left of the cage, holding the car in place on the line! Fame at last.

Some thoughts on ambition............. A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village and an American tourist asked the fisherman how long it took him to catch his fish. “Not long,” answered the Mexican. ‘So why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?’ asked the American. The Mexican explained his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family. The American asked: ‘But what do you do with the rest of your time?’ “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings I go to the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar and sing a few songs. I have a full life.” The American interrupted: ‘I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you. You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. ‘With the extra revenue you can buy a bigger boat. With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second and third and so on until you have a fleet of trawlers. ‘Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe open your own plant. ‘You can then leave this village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles or even New York. From there you can direct your enterprises.’ “How long would that take?” asked the Mexican. ‘Oh, twenty, maybe twenty-five years,’ replied the American. “And after that?” queried the Mexican. ‘That’s when it gets really interesting,’ answered the American. ‘ When your business gets really big, you can sell stocks and make millions.’ “Millions? And then what?” asked the Mexican. ‘After that you will be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife, and spend your evenings drinking and playing the guitar.’

Nightmare with these figures but I take full blame. So the scores on the doors are as follows: This has been adjusted so that all cars were measured with approx 1/2 tank of fuel to make it fair. No drivers were hurt in the process of this excercise P.S This also does not include drivers as mine was heavy enough without my lard ass so they were all excluded. Hope this is OK and sorry for the delay Tiggs
