As a 'newbie' what a pleasant surprise the postman brought me Great to see such a lot of activity within the club & a great read Thank you.

All as I will say is walk the track for definite. A good tip is to park up in the paddock and then start the walk immediately with your licence as you will pass the signing on office on the way back to the paddock after the finish line. Then get scrutineered. if you wait for them you will miss the chance to walk the track (not good)

Ha, ha I am not showing them to you though am I? I have been out clicking today, they are staying secret and are for the editors eyes only. Seriously, the weather is superb, the evening light is at a reasonable hour and if I can take a photo with my 'point and click' skills using a standard camera then you can do it too. Don't forget to submit some nice piccies and we can have yet another stunning calendar in 2017.

Hey, I just said it could be taken out of context, not how - you're the one who immediately assumed it was dirty. So who's the smutty minded person now, eh?

Now there's a statement that could easily be taken out of context.

Might be up for this. Will see how things pan out.

I am planning to do this day although will wait until 5 day forecast before committing. My brother is also planning to be there in his blackbird powered fury.

I bet you get all the parts too !!!

My advice.., worth nothing but offered anyway. Spend the extra and buy APs or equivalent. Willwood are pretty good too. Had Hi Specs on the sprint car. Stopped the car ok but they flex meaning the pads wear unevenly. Probably OK for a road but if your tracking it spend the extra.

It's a very good point Scott. Ive even been guilty of moaning about WSC and parts delivery times myself. I will have more empathy in future if I'm being kept informed. Chris, similar protections now in place with debit cards. I've just got off the phone to my bank to start a dispute just in case hi spec are as slow at processing refunds as they are brakes.

And those of us non-MIRA-virgins who forgot that's the way to do it!

One good reason to use a credit card for pay up front orders. Even if you get stung for the extra few percent they usually add on. If you have a problem then the credit card company sort out the refund. Suppliers never argue with them.

An lsd to stop the tail wagging in the wet or a lighter right foot would do the same

We'll let you off mate, just this once Thanks... No pressure

I have booster seat for these occasions. Just took off the cover and cut the polystyrene down to fit the jk seat. Have six point belts so no grandchild is going to fall out. When you stop the car, don't let the little'un jump out on their own or they'll burn their legs on the exhaust, lift them out yourself. No child has been injured by the SootySport method.

yep that works for me

your pack came 10 days after anyone else... I think you are the only one with the oficial list!

I used flexible hose all the way through based on the thought that less joints were better. If I were to do it again I'd use rigid as much as I can.

Better drive out of slow corners especially (doesn't want to spin up the inside rear wheel), more likely to slide and more consistent when it does, can induce more corner entry understeer depending on the type of LSD. Also, David and Maurici... thanks a lot for the kind words. Some people like to upgrade their pride and joy and that's fine, but you are both right in saying that some driver training will make the most difference - and, it will be useful in any subsequent vehicle, not just the one you have now! Adding 30bhp or some new dampers might gain you 1-2s a lap, but I bet I could find most Westfield owners 5s within half a day of instruction...

Bit of a bump... but I was back at MaX5 this weekend for one race, sharing my old car with the new owner. This meant I didn't get to do a qualifying session and would start at the back... Made for a bl**** fun race though! Seems that a couple of extra years of experience pays off - now around 2s faster than last time I drove this car on this circuit, in exactly the same spec...
