Hi Daniel im there just for the Friday Track day but not for the Sprint days

I'll probably see you in the afternoon then

If i see your car will pop over and say hi

I've defected this year Dan, it was a toss up between the Blyton trackday and Anglesey (9th) and Blyton lost..

Have a good weekend.

I'll be sprinting their on the 9th August in my DB7, was practicing last Friday with tuition from Mark Hayles

I can understand why Anglesey wins over blyton! I'll be there September for a weekend and possibly October too

Hi

I should be there one day over the weekend

Andy

Sat/Sun Dan

Standard JW!
I'll bring your air tanks too!

not me but saving pennies

There's 8 x 1100cc single seaters so I could be in trouble

Nothing like a bit of competition to get a good feel for the car

True. But all the others are experienced single seater drivers unlike me!

And you gain experience by.......competing

I'll just have to use extreme bravery to make up for lack of experience! (Still not used the car at all)

Looking forward to that then !

Should be there Dan....

Get the camera out for the last corner Dave!

Ready and waiting 😁

Is there any way you can edit it so I'm not going backwards across the line?

I can go upside-down 👇

Could do with some aero advice anyway mate so pop over and we can adjust the wings if you think it's needed! Cheers

Yeah no worries, go b+q and get some ally angle , and gaffer tape...

Not on the force mate! It's a lot more hi tech and developed. And aero wise they are immense!

Setting off mid morning so should be there early afternoon! Around 2pm

Had a great weekend at Blyton competing against some of the fastest Kitcar sprinters in the county. I was able to knock 2 secs off my previous best and get 2nd in class on Saturday with a 68.4 sec run ideal conditions.
Sunday was quite windy and we had a significant shower around 1030am so I was only able to do a 69.1 in first timed run and in the only other timed run I 'went for it' which resulted in a DNF as I left the circuit on the last corner. Still only just beaten into 3rd in class.

Well done jeff! If you take john hoyle outp of the class your right in the mix with some very fast cars!
John put in a 64.6 I think which is faster than I did in my radical last year! Unreal time.
I wish my weekend had gone a lot lot better.although my car easily won it's class yesterday,I wasn't driving it
We managed a 63.03 which isn't bad as Bradley had only done 2 wet runs in the car before the clock started.

Sad that you had health issues Dan, the Force did look good (!)

John Hoyle is a bit special and so is his 284BHP, 500Kg Westfield. I'm happy to get within 4 secs of John given the 200Kg difference in car+driver weight, just need to make some suspension changes and hopefully I can start closing the gap (might need to stop eating as many pies and put the car on a serious diet as well!). WSCC meetings are always a reality check for me as it is almost the the British Sprint championships for kitcars.

To put is all in perspective, Nick Alger smashing the circuit record with a 56.02 sec run in his 330Kg, Rotrex Supercharged, busa engined methanol burning single seater. Ex-British sprint champion ! At least I have the same supercharger

There is some seriously well developed cars amongst them. A couple of he 1000cc bike engined cars got into the late 65's later in the day after you went!
Yeah along with some of the specialist hillclimb cars these westfields are amongst the very best in the uk. And when you have someone like that in class like we have with brad,it really is a case of trying to get as close as possiy to him rather than hunting for 1st place!
They can't match you for sound mate,that's for sure and you missed the last run Of the day by nick Algar!
He took the outright track record again with a 56.02! Yes 56.02. It's the fastest car Richard has ever had on the circuit in it's relatively short history. It was absolutely epic!

Did you not manage to drive in the end Dan? Are you feeling any better now?
Was really sorry to see that you couldn't drive after all the effort you have put into the car.
I enjoyed Saturday but dealing with a bereavement meant I was putting a bit of a brave face on and then that utter twonk in the Elise crashing into my car in the paddock really put me in a bad mood for a bit.
I managed a 71.0 on my final run but comparing my times to the faster Westfield's I was near matching them in the final high speed sector but getting trounced in sections where power was needed .

how did it go after the adjustments Dan ?

Did a 63.02 to win the class comfortably but had a massive massive Moment exiting the right left right kink at the end of the lap absolutely
Flat out.So lost well over 1 sec I think!
If you get chance to look. Google images force pt or force hc and look at the wings and angles and see what you think
