A couple of shots from my IVA last month. Forgot I took them tbh...

We had a good natter 4 Westies, a tiger, a locost and a van (Mev owner). @M8KWR @dombanks

@RobH72 @HB46443 @Glynn Walters

I consider you to be a good person and a fine club member, so I'm sure you won't take this the wrong way...

Monday evening blat round South Wales with chips!

If any one cares, this year Rush Motorsport is taking the step from "averagely skilled, wannabe track day hero" to "distinctly below average, hopefully don't come last circuit racer". Lets be honest, its a mid life crisis. Its something I've always wanted to do and now I've got to 40 and finally have a child, I felt like I was running out of time. The stars have aligned, I'm in the fortunate position to be able to afford it and the wife is being surprisingly supportive, without which it would be impossible. So what does this year look like? A few arrive and drives in BRSCC MX5 Clubman Championship: Silverstone Grand Prix - 21st May Oulton Park - 23rd July I'm going to try to get a drive at Donington in September, before buying my own car and doing the full championship next year. Its 16 rounds over 8 days, each event it 15 min quali, then 2 x 15 min races. What is nice about the Clubman series is it all happens on one day - which is great if you are time constrained like me (Those heady days of sunny afternoons spent in the garage with @Simon Waterfall Syman84 tinkering with our oily bits are long gone). So yeah, that's that. I'm testing the car at Silverstone on 20th because i've not driven the GP track before, don't plan to test before Oulton or Donny - its gets really expensive really quickly. I'm being realistic with my expectations, the racing is close and the fast guys are A LOT faster than I am. Grids are 30+ cars, there are 35 already for Silverstone and people are still booking. A top 20 finish for me would feel like a world championship win, so my goal for the first one is, stay out of trouble and end both races in a higher position than I started. The point of the thread is that if anyone has any questions or is considering it, ask away and I'll be as honest and open as I can. The raw footage will be on my youtube channel, I might do a vlog if I can be bothered and you can watch the races live on BRSCC youtube channel.

Hello WSCC people! I joined the club moments ago and wanted to say hello. I'm Steve from Mildenhall in Suffolk. I had an ex-track day Avon Tiger until last year, and wanted to replace it with a quick Westfield. I'm also building a Spaceframe 'Maguire' Mini tribute to Peter Baldwin's 80's racer. I’ve just taken ownership of the ex-John Louden / Peter O’Connor Hillclimb and Sprint Westfield SE. It's a well known car; the car held lots of records and won many championships in Sprints and Hillclimb events. I’m putting it back on the road, and yesterday it passed the MOT. So I refitted the lights, took off the slicks, and fitted some 888Rs. The sequential box is tricky to use - and with 220hp and less than 500kg, this car is ridiculously quick! I hope to see you out and about. Cheers

Put my request in for Sunday yesterday, got the message that it's being reviewed. Still waiting.

You dont even need to be a member of WSCC either. Just posses an MSUK license of a discipline that covers speed events

I'm pretty sure he's imprinted 'WESTFIELD' on the Tractor!

You must be one of the Bay City Rollers fans😀

No its June actually 😀

Great turnout tonight at Moira, they were actually having to turn some lively cars away it was that full! Fortunately us local kit owners managed to balance out the classics with some kits! 2 Westies, 1 MEV Rocket, 1 MK Indy and a Raw Striker 👍

Might increase the mileage limit on my policy. 😊 Mot on 08.05.2022. 218 miles since the last mot in 2018. On second thoughts 3,000 might be enough. 🤔 Is there an award for the least miles?

I've got these left they are 316 stainless but unpolished so would benefit from a good fettle, pm me anybody interested

I’m sure he had a load for sale at stoneleigh so hopefully @marcusb will see this and let you know.

Absolutely stunning drive, the weather holding off and letting us really explore the limits round those wonderful Welsh lanes! thanks so much for leading the drive Paul, @Pco and great shout on the pub/chips! The best tank of fuel I've used in a long time!

Thanks folkes great drive today, amazing what local roads we have in South Wales with little traffic too at the right times. luckily the combine harvester didn't turn @Lee1980and me into bird food. also great chips in the Bell 🤣

Used to use a trappers hat ('road kill') when it was cold. It was OK but had no peak so if the sun was low it could be tricky to see. I recently bought a peaked waterproof sailing hat (Musto) which has pull down protection for ears and neck and a draw string chin strap to hold it on your head. It works much better. I'm 6'4".

Yet another good run today with brilliant friends thanks again Julie Hall for organising the route Here's a little vid I'm getting there sorry about the music I've got a few more videos I'll post later

Have a great day @Chris Hooper🎂 🍺
