gixermark Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Hi Guys, after much searching and investigations... i have bought my first 'seven' today... Its a Raw Striker with blade engine... plan is mainly for racing, will prob get it down to AB performance for a proper corner weight and geometry set up etc etc..... before i bring it back home.. is membership to the WSCC specifically for westfields ? or sevens, but with a stronger following of actual westfield owners. ?

steve_m Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I have a Dax and joined years ago, they haven't told me to pi*s off yet Nice choice btw, should be fun Quote
pistonbroke2 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Steve Have you not pi*ss8*d of with that Dax yet. Quote
gixermark Posted July 22, 2007 Author Posted July 22, 2007 good stuff... will look into joining in that case.. looking forward to getting the car on track, will maybe catch a track day somewhere on route to bringing back to ireland... maybe in 2-3 weeks.. Yea - the striker seems a good choice for me - had to be a seven shape for the race series here... and blade power.. the striker is a small little thing and they seem (to me) to be more focussed on race rather than road.... certainly wouldn't compare the general finish etc with a westy... but thats not what i'm after for this baby....

Crazy Eddie Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Can't fault your choice of engine and the Striker seems a good package TBH. All the best and look forward to racing career Quote
rm163603 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Strikers are great cars.. congrats As you say a bit smaller than a westie. Some poeple say the handling is better on the striker than a westie. Hope it goes well and look forward to heaing more about your exploits. If you haven't already found it have a look at Richard Miles' striker R1... this is the nicest striker I ever saw http://striker.r-one.co.uk/ Quote

davidgh Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Congrats G'mark. Son (aka Strikerboy) and I have been members of the WSCC for some years, and Striker owners since 2004. You'll get told to p*** off frequently (see above). In fact, the more competitive you are, the more it'll happen -- perversely, it becomes a badge of honour. WSCC is still a great little club though. There's even a special class in the Speed Series for people with an unfortunate taste in Se7ens. It'd be good to see you out if you ever get across here. Enjoy both the car and the club Quote
Blatman Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 QUOTE There's even a special class in the Speed Series for people with unfortunate taste It's not just the car, it's the colour Quote
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 And whats wrong with YELLER Quote
gixermark Posted July 23, 2007 Author Posted July 23, 2007 There's even a special class in the Speed Series for people with unfortunate taste It's not just the car, it's the colour mine has the tango effect pain scheme too !! must say having looked at westfields, MK Indys, stuart taylors etc etc.. the striker really is a tiny thing.... not much bigger than a kart i used to race !!

oldman Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Kinell I've got a Lada convertible...not been told t'p*** off yet .....but this may change Quote
