One of the highlights of my year is receiving the government-produced information on state elections, and this year is no exception. As it’s a primary election to narrow down candidates for different state offices, this one has no issues or referendums to consider, so the voters can concentrate on finding the right persons for the offices up for grabs. This booklet is sent out in advance, giving you lots of time to read and study. This 64-page guide hit my doorstep recently, and I thought I’d share a few of the highlights: There are 14 different offices up for contention and 64 candidates vying for my vote for those offices. As long as you manage to meet the criteria to get on the ballot, the state is obliged to give you a space in this guide for you to say whatever you like, and that you think would encourage people to vote for you. For instance, this is Douglas. He’s running for United States Senator. This is pretty much standard wide-ranging fare that he hopes you will like. Everyone knows this is preposterously ambitious, but he’s allowed to say it. This is Obaidul. He was too busy creating his website to cut and paste something about what he stands for in to be included in the free state guide that went to every voter in California. It’s up to us as voters to research him, I guess. This is Don. For some reason, Don doesn’t want to share what he looks like with us, but he does want to share his views. Which are strong, numerous and somewhat uncompromising. This is John. I can’t help feeling that, realistically, John might be in the wrong country, but hey ho, good luck John. This is Chuck. Apparently, Chuck thinks God has chosen him to make the whole country “righteous again”. I was unaware that it had ever been whatever “righteous” is to start with at any point, or if it’s even possible, but Chuck is sure God wants it. This is Akinyemi. Apparently, he is the only person who can revive a collapsed America, so you must vote for him. It’s certainly a concise argument. This is Mariana. I’m not sure if by this policy she means figuratively or literally, but I know I’d watch and find out. This is Armando. I have no idea what Armando stands for, but he’d like your money to help him do it as soon as possible. This is Daniel. He’s a sovereign citizen who supports the parts of the constitution he likes and believes laws don’t apply to him unless they help him persecute and sue others who try to enforce the laws he doesn’t like. Apparently Jesus is on his side too. This is Dan. He’s an animal rights attorney. I had no idea animals were rich enough to hire attorneys, but you learn something new every day. Dan wants to empty the jails. Dan also needs to hire a better photographer. This is where the good citizens of District 3 find out no one cares about them. You know the saying that we get the government we deserve? If that’s the case, it seems we’ve been very, very bad people.

That photo brings back some great memories from 10-15 years ago, back when the club sprint was held there. The entire length of the paddock was just Westfields, and ex-Westfield owners in their 'new' cars!

Kicking this off again with a track from my album of 2022 so far

Right this event is now getting closer and as of today is open to the outside world of people attending that are not club members. Unfortunatly with the current numbers we have to now open up entry as we only have about 15 confirmed westfields this doesnt even cover half of the track rental for the day. The club want to support more club track days and I have been asked by the Chair to look into other events at eaither end of the year at other venues with this being the main club event. So all the regular trackday gang who no longer have westfields come and support your club with MX5's and other kit makes. If we dont get the numbers to make it even cost nuetral this may well be the last one, we want to do more as a club for each area of the club be that cake eater or trackday goer, but if you dont support events when they are arranged then how can we do more. rant over get booking

Reminder for the Warwickshire area meeting this week. Thursday evening, from around 7.30pm at The Falcon, Birmingham Road, Hatton, CV35 7HA. Weather is looking to be ok, so it should be a good turn out of Westfields in the car park!

V8 Rumble storms into the leader board on WSCC YouTube views!

Getting ready for Lemans Classic 😎

This photo does not give the thunderstorm storm credit… The weather man did not mention this! Arrived from nowhere, and gone in 5 minutes…

we have done that before so potentally could be arranged, unfortunatly from a track day point the eastern track onlt has the start straight and the back straigh before bishops to overtake and things can get quite congested in the early part of the lap

As Simon said, I'm very, very keen to improve what we do with track days as a Club, BUT, if we don't draw the members to even existing days like Blyton, it's not going to go well when I put the plans to the rest of the committee!
