Well as long as Lewis is at the front of the parade all is good. In all honesty I general snooze through most of it but it does get me out of doing food shopping and general house hold stuff!

Most turn up between 930-1100, buffet normally starts around noon and can be like watching goats being fed to T-Rexs at Jurassic Park.

Credit Card splurge....??

Sorry Tom I will be watching the Grand Prix on Sunday. I take it you cant make it, pity as it will be the first unveiling on the new Honda S2000 Omex throttle bodies Kind regards Simon

And finished Here it is: Here's the spec: It can be used with traditional indicator bulbs or LED bulbs, and works alongside the existing flasher relay. It can be used with any ON/OFF/ON switch or can be used with momentary ON push buttons. It can be set for either 12 seconds of flash duration or 18 seconds. Indicator cancelling is disabled while brakes are pressed, and for 6 or 9 seconds afterwards so that the indicators can remain on in traffic or while waiting to turn. With an ON/OFF/ON switch, normal indicator function is returned by first switching to OFF, then to whichever direction is needed. With push buttons, the indicator can be toggled on and off with each push. If changing direction from Right to Left (or vice versa), push the opposite button once and the indicator will cancel and switch to the new required side, with a reset of the cancelling timer.

You always need another glass of wine, Don;t forget to pour me one to. Oh hang on if it's target times, think you'd better bring a case

Room for another fruitcake? Half hood on, rain x applied and waterproof trousers at the ready! See you at Newark.

I don't like calculations. We have facts to deal with!

You've seen me eat!

Re: O/A champ Due to the uncertainty of calc TTS perhaps the O/A champion could be decided by the biggest class winning margin As long as there were say- 3 competitors doing at least ten events This would probably favour road going unless the E/G times were adjusted as suggested by Rich tho but maybe something along this line/

So we could use an average as the TT and then still maybe extra points for someone who beats the previous RECORD

Again, rather than discounting times, aggregate them from the top 3 in class at each event. A/ your dealing with actual data B/ it is an achievable time C/ it eliminates the perfect scenario time/conditions etc. Are we actually expected to break records at every event. Records are records, targets as such need to be achievable. Other than that, drop the overall next year, and realise that what we have is really very good. As has been said before, some of our drivers ae the quickest and best in the country. It works. Keep it simple, too much change and guessing will discourage participation, me included.

Credit card at the ready.

You can tell us who has bought it now!!!!

I sold my Westfield recently and cancelled the insurance with A-PLAN about 3 weeks ago with approx 5 months left to run. I was told I would get a confirmation letter and that their finance dept would sort out the refund to my card. After 3 weeks i phoned to get an update only to be told that there was no refund due as no refund given on that policy after 120 days. Its not a lot of money but I was not made aware of this and did not notice it in the small print. Not very happy with A-PLAN and felt I should make others aware. If insured via A-PLAN HIGHWAY insurance the information re cancellation is the on page 42 last page but 1 of the guide to cover booklet.

Ive seen this car on ebay amnd wonderd if anyone knew it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/331680238020 Seems like good value, im tempted to sell my current westy to upgrade

Panda hugs must be worth far more than that!

I'm only going to weigh in on one thing here, and that's the HANS device. I realise that it's an added expense. I understand that doing the mods to your cars can be a PITA. I posted this link in a different thread three years ago, and I strongly encourage you to read it - it's about how a HANS device works, how it saves lives, and the dangers of not fitting and using one when competing in motor sports: Clicky Why have I weighed in? Two reasons, the second one purely selfish. > When I lived in the States, a man down the street from me who I didn't know apart from the neighbourly friendly nod and wave, was killed in a racing incident that caused almost no damage to his car, but the rapid deceleration caused a basilar skull fracture that claimed his life. The dynamics were not understood back then, and it was put down as a tragic unforeseeable death - as were many accidents those days. I sometimes wonder what he would have went on to do and accomplish in his life if he had a HANS device. > As club chairman, one of the things I have dreaded on a regular basis is getting news that a Speed Series competitor or a club member has been seriously injured or killed while driving their Westfield, and then carrying and expressing the club members' sympathies to their relatives. My blood has run cold a few times already when I get a phone call detailing some pretty spectacular crashes that have happened (two rollovers and a venture into the woods which you all know about immediately spring to mind). Gents, I have seen more than enough funerals in my time and have no desire to go to any more if it can be avoided through spending a bit of money. Yeah, that's pretty selfish of me I know, but I don't care nor do I hide from it. So yes, I'm sympathetic to the added cost and installation hassle of a HANS device - up to a point. Sometimes we have to think about how our actions (or inaction) would affect those we love. Please - if you compete in motor sports, fit a HANS device.
