stewart pickles Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 agree with mark well said dave,apart from.... So, now we are looking at external benchmarks -- times set by other people (hopefully not just WSCC people) in equivalent machinery just bare in mind in class E at most events we are put in with slick shod classes so those times would be a bit optimistic on 1 b's for target times on the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyH Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Dearest Dad, At what point does your emotional investment in the speed series (both in fun and friends) overcome your enjoyment of being different and the emotional attachment to the very lovely Marmelade ? Heresy i know, but time to rethink transfering to a westy chassis perhaps ? (p.s, am sober) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidgh Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 class E at most events ... put in with slick shod classes Stew Clearly that would not be a valid benchmark. Nor would using class 2B times from Wales (where List 1B tyres are permitted) as the benchmark for Class C be appropriate. However, as I pointed out above with the Hethel example, the SSOT (GBTCS) will need to take some relevant non-westy data into account in order to establish realistic targets for 17 points at some venues.

Considering it was the first time I'd driven it though, it did me well enough to be only 0.5s behind you IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark.anson Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Apologies if ive missed it, but will there be target times for class J cars. How will that work given the range of cars that can compete in that class! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidgh Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Apologies if ive missed it, but will there be target times for class J cars. How will that work given the range of cars that can compete in that class! Mark J1-3 are "just for fun" classes. Cars in Classes J can't compete for the championship, so the points are not of great relevance. When we turn up at SS events our target is to beat the guys in Class E on the day, not to gain SS points. I am glad to say that the spirit of the unofficial class E/J has been alive and well these last three years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
