Here it is my best timed run of the weekend at 57.54s and a massive 3s faster than last year

Here's my video from the weekend, my fastest run didn't record but it was only 0.02 quicker! Wish we could have another go! http://youtu.be/FewIup0YeDk

ok heres mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBiLH9JlbB8&feature=share and my fastest run sunday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUAJNmSlzks&feature=share

OK so it is a Bank Holday and of course it is raining. So instead of going to Thoresby Car Show I at home and bored so here is a picture of our new helmets.

My Wet / Damp track first run at Loton on Saturday. I wont lie to you I was a bit fired up because Mike broke my car if Im honest. Bit silly really to push so hard when everyone else was doing 70s runs. - 58.x seconds.

Thanks Guys I really appreciate all your comments ( praise is always very welcome ) But in reality I wouldn't be going as well as this without all the help and encouragement from you lot. One of the things I love about this speed series is the camaraderie in the paddock, without exception every expert driver I've met has freely given advice and tips on improving a run or car set up. With a little help this weekend on damper settings and tips for a fast run at Loton I've been able to find a couple of seconds that would otherwise have taken years to workout for myself, so you should really be giving yourselves a "pat on the back"

The perfect power figure for a westfield is, of course, whatever the cross flow engine can muster :-)

Great videos Called in for a couple of hours and all the Westfields looked good going up there.

Well here's my second timed run. 58.84. Very scrappy going on the grass in 3 places which lost me time especially at loggerheads and fallow and was a bit exciting at Triangle. I think I need to change my steering wheel and rack before Ty Croes and sort out the understeer. First time I have video recorded my self which is useful as I can see lots of novice mistakes especially turning in a bit earlier on most of the corners. Any feedback appreciated. It does seem a bit of a handful at times;-) . Slower than T1 which was 58.47 but Go Pro didn't work for that run. Anyway improved my PB by a second so happy with that but much more possible I think. Thanks to Matt, Keith and Stu for working to help with my set up this afternoon. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KK-1uNPWi2o?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> see here for the before from P2! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfg02kQsE8k Why do I get this text rather than video frame?

Repairs? That reminds me, I haven't even looked at my car since Blyton! Must give it a once over sometime this week.

My life wouldn't be worth living if i were to join the dreaded Facebook. Too many bunny boiling nutters from my past waiting to catch up with me. I have 4 kids that i know about, I don't need anymore surprises.

How did this guy manage to wedge this Laguna in between this armco..? And it must have been driven in as the offside is proper cut up on the armco. More to the point, how did they get out..? On the B4088 just outside Evesham on the road to Norton. Its just after a round about and it is a foreign motor so I guess they might have had a 'what side of the road do they drive on, tell you what, lets try for the middle..' moment.

Well guys my trial period expired this morning, so Ive taken the plunge and now got myself affiliated The information I've received so fat has been great, and Im looking forward to getting one sorted and hitting the road. Will try and get along to meets etc when time allows.

Barny You need to do some research as you have Cortina uprights and can't change your steering arms, so you may need to go a little quicker than the std 2.4 quick rack s that are available.

one handed most the way

Another teaser:

Hi Guy's I am sure the car will be re-incarnated in one form or another! I hope Duck is not too worse for wear and will recover quickly from joining the "Cedar Spin Club" Thinking of you all Glutey

oversteer r us you know its not pretty but works for me :d

Ohhh contensious issue I say yes it takes some of the heat out of the engine bay. And if you have a tatty exhaust ( like me ) it covers up the rust....

Saw your car, no idea it was you, thought it looked absolutely stunning!

Oh pictures! Don't have so many pictures but here are a few from a hill climb training day Car is well, black, with black wheels and black interior! This may change...

Yes - fantastic run Marto, glad you managed it when it counted. I couldn't get anywhere near you.

Looks smart.

I'm a novice, this is my first season in sprinting and my first run at Loton Park, I did a 59.44, how does that compare?

Certainly does. I don't

drives like a expert now

Very neat and smooth Martin Expert next year I think!

Right, roof up, off for a rather wet looking day 3 of the Gold Cup; don't think I'm going to be scoffing ice cream cones today!

You could have shaved another few milli-seconds without all that umbrella weight....!

I bet I can better that for this weeks list of work to do. about the only thing I have got is a gearbox.

Ta muchly tigger.... The speedy posting before Loton's results put me temporarily 1st in Class A and in Overall Novice Championships :)

Ok here's one to be going on with
