Wishing all our members old and new a very happy, prosperous and peaceful new year! The days are already getting longer! Time to double down on those winter projects to get ready for the spring! See you all in 2023! D

The winter revamp has begun at last. Have a great new year everyone.

Happy new year to you and yours Dave , here’s to getting a few more miles under our tyres in 2023

That might be me. Looking forward to it.

Through my 15 or so years being in and around the WSCC Speed Series, I have never known much of what happened 'before my time'. Because of this thought, I decided to compile a list of all the WSCC Speed Series Champions from 1998 to today. I have included information and photos of the winning car in the season that it won. All info is from the Westfield World Magazines which are available to download and view, or from general paddock talk over the last decade. 1998 - Nick Lear Unfortunately, I was unable to find much information on Nick Lear's 1998 season, beyond him competing in the then Class A with a Crossflow powered car. 1999 - David Jones Similarly to Nick Lear, there is only limited information that I was able to find. David Jones competed in Class A with a Crossflow powered car. 2000 - Lindsay Pointon Competing in Class B in his Vauxhall C20XE (Redtop) powered car, Lindsay was the first of many C20XE powered champions. 2001 - Garry Bunn The well known now ex-Derby Notts AO, Garry piloted his Crossflow powered car to the championship in class A. Unfortunately I was unable to find a photo of this car, but he went on to compete in an amazing Cosworth powered car. 2002 - Adrian Clinton-Watkins Even when he was still young, Adrian Clinton-Watkins; the man behind GGR Communications and forum admin, was blisteringly quick in a Westfield. For his first championship, he competed in a Class B with a C20XE powered Car. 2003 - Tom Green The man responsible for the WSCC Speed Series, without which many friendships would not have been formed. Powering along in the famous Westfield 'Flymo' GT with a John Eales Rover V8, Tom was able to win the championship in Class H. 2004 - Tim Pennington Tim brought the championship back down to earth by winning overall in his Crossflow powered car that was still very modest (especially compared to the Flymo) in Class A. 2005 - Guy Hussey Probably one of the most interesting seasons in Speed Series history. Guy drove his Dad's Vauxhall X16XE powered Raw Striker to the overall championship in Class A, before the guest classes were introduced to the Speed Series. 2006 - Mark Smith The first SBD car to win the Speed Series. An extremely well tuned C20XE by SBD was the powerplant that helped Mark Smith win in Class H. 2007 - Andy Rushworth The first bike powered car to win the championship. A CBR1100xx Blackbird engine in a road-going Westfield. This chassis has gone on to win 4 Speed Series Championships (as of 2022), the most of any single chassis so far. 2008 - Andy Rushworth The first person to win the championship twice, and back to back non the less. 2009 - Richard Kerr This northern speedster drove his C20XE powered Westfield to the overall Championship in Class D. 2010 - Phil Newall 2010 saw the first of the Fireblade powered Westfields come to win. Phil Newall's example being one of the lightest cars ever built, with a modern 1-litre bike engine in the then Class G. 2011 - Stuart Hill The first Toyota powered Westfields to win the championship the 4AGE a great engine to get him the win in Class C. 2012 - Adrian Clinton-Watkins Now with a Duratec in his Westfield, Adrian came with a mission, and won the overall championship in Class F. 2013 - Barry Slingsby A return for the C20XE powered overall champions in Class D, and a second of the 'Team GGR' coloured cars to win overall. 2014 - Adrian Clinton-Watkins Adrian now sets the record for the most wins by a single person, with 3. This season, Adrian came to the championship with a very special engine, a de-stroked 1800cc Duratec which would place him in Class E. Interestingly, after the car had a large off at Loton Park, the engine and gearbox were transferred to Barry Slingsby's chassis to finish off the season at Ty Croes, Anglesey. 2015 - John Hoyle The first win for John Hoyle, an incredibly quick Yorkshireman with a C20XE powered car in Class D. 2016 - John Loudon The throaty roar of the 1700cc Ford Puma powered Westfield of John Loudon won the championship in Class E. 2017 - John Hoyle John Hoyle took back his title from John Loudon, this time, competing in Class F. 2018 - Howard Gaskin Another Championship for the trusty old C20XE, this time back in Class D. Going into the final day of the final event of the season, 3 people were still within a chance of winning. Howard Gaskin, Terry Everall and John Loudon. In the end, a points difference the equivalent of 0.07 seconds split Howard and John. 2019 - John Hoyle John Hoyle comes back swinging in Class F, as he equals Adrian Clinton-Watkins record of 3 championships won. 2020 - None Due to COVID-19, the 2020 season was cancelled. 2021 - Terry Everall After competing for approximately 20 years, Terry had finally won the Speed Series. A comeback for the Honda Fireblade CBR1000rr which had always been a very competitive engine since it's first appearance in a Westfield. Also a third championship for the chassis, as Andy Rushworth had won his championships in this chassis back in 2007/8 2022 - Terry Everall Just like busses, ey. With the 2022 championship won, the chassis has the unique distinction of being the only chassis to win 4 championships, with 2 back to back victories, over a decade apart. 2023 - Adam Phelps The 2023 season once again came down to the last event weekend to be decided, this time Adam Phelps just edged out Adrian Clinton-Watkins by less than 1 point. The Phelps family car powered by a 1440cc Suzuki Hayabusa, piloted by Adam, his sister Charlotte, and father John. Adam consistently put on great displays of his talent, often beating specialist single seat race cars. A worthy champion! And with that, the list is complete as of now. If there is any more information that people want to add or correct, let me know, and if there are any period images of the cars that don't have ones, please send me them via a message so that I can add them.

Happy new year , when it comes folks. look forward to catching up and getting a few more miles under our tyres

Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy and prosperous New Year from @Garry Bunn , myself and all of the Derby Notts members. A little something to watch if you get bored of Jools Holland later 😂

So, sorry in advance for this daft question....... I have always stayed away from standard supermarket fuel/diesel, due to what been said about the quality in the media and what was shown of 5th Gear. We have just changed our daily drive tiptop and was told we should only run it on high-octane fuel. So the question is, is the tesco supermarket 99 just as good as say Shell V Power etc?

We have a handful of us coming along so will do the normal pre-meet at the A38/A50 services at 915am. Feel free to join us if you fancy a convoy 👍

Fantastic garage set up

I have garage envy... 🤣

Happy new year bud

Happy New Year @Gary Taylor , lang may yer lum reek 👍

Happy Birthday Adge - unfortunately not Westy weather so no run out again today...

Probably Apple HEIC format. Can be changed as below:

It’s a crossflow chassis so would have had one of these in it. I’ve made the engine mounts myself now so all sorted👍

First Newcomer/Novice entered in class W2

Hoping I can be there 😊

Hidden in the back were a load of missing Westfield World and 2023 Calendars 😂

My eyes are drawn towards that other 'rare red beast' in the background....can't remember the last time I saw a postman's van😀

Some more photos Sue has taken

Look at that sky!

Have a great day @IainCameron & @Bellyboy 🍺🍺🎂🎂

@Greenstreak-Andy D has one brimmed full with 'fresh air' usually! 😉

Woohoo! Just in time for the winter! V5c turned up today! Plates made and fitted and the first 6 miles under my belt. Small steps... 🤣
