Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Very pleased that you all enjoyed the event, a lot of hard work organising it before, starting last September when I suggested to the Speed Series Team that we did the event and everyone agreed. With it being a new sprint venue there was a lot of checking to make sure everything was OK. As has already been said Richard Usher has created a great track, which is real fun, whilst still being challenging. Judging by the “offs” on Sunday, maybe not as easy to learn as everyone thought. I have had a lot of very positive e-mails from competitors from other clubs about how well run it was and a lot of credit has to go to the Marshall’s under Mike Shorley, Harewood Chief Marshall. But also our excellent start line crew of Ian Morrison, Richard Kerr and Luke Algar, who worked as a great team to get 873 starts over the weekend, which really is going some. But also a big thank you to Alan Smith , Clerk of the Course who worked with us to help make the event what it was. His partner Karen and Jane Loudon and Jane Algar were the results team that made it all happen and got you the results in time. Lots of little improvements we can make, but at the moment too tired to write them all down. But I did complement the Burger bar family on their great work and also asked her to consider doing the Saturday evening meal (she had turned it down for this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Not forgetting of course all the Paddock Marshall's who did a great job in what ended up as a very full paddock. Also all the WSCC guys who were out on course Marsalling as well. Big thanks to all of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Well guys I can only say my son Matt and I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, we came to marshall not really knowing what to expect as we hadn't been to a sprint before. Unforntunately (for my wife) I've got the bug, what a fantastic way to enjoy your motor, everyone was so friendly and keen to tell you about their steed, giving an insight into how they got started and advice on setting up the car. Wasn't sure what to expect when we arrived Friday to find most of the camping area under water but eventually we found somewhere to pitch up. Thankfully the rain ceased and the weekend just got better and better, we'll definitely be visiting more of these events and hopefully competing, (can't let you lot have all the fun)! Thanks to Nick, Mike Shorley, and everyone else involved, its the mutual respect and enthusiasm that we all share for the sport we all love that made the weekend one of the best I've had in a long while! Well done all, Rich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 It was good to chat with you Tricky and as discussed call me whenever you want and pop in to see my car. The bug is very addictive and Blyton was excellent example of the Westfield guys banter/p*** taking/help etc in the paddock as well as some very quick driving. Hope we see you out competing soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark.anson Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Tim, Awesome drive, but that can;t have been you, what's happened to all the sideways action I told him he needed to be smoother when he went to slicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Even though he's not sideways he still comes back shaking cos he's on the ragged edge! Only 0.6secs difference between us this time on Sunday. We like it close and competetive and big buzzi revs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
