Hopefully a TVR win in NSCC this year
Discussion
I have been racing in the NSCC national street car championship for a good few years now and usually not had the free time to compete properly. The drag racing is only a part of competition. A lot of points are won for attending shows and regular cruises etc. This year I am making the best effort I can.
This is how I stand mid season
This is just the top of the table and there are a total of 34 cars competing this year.
Still a very busy time ahead with something to attend nearly every weekend.
This week I will be at York again for round 6 of the racing.
Wish me luck please. Support from the TVR community means a lot to me.

Thanks for the support guys. I am concentrating on trying to win NSCC this year but also have other events and meetings on the calendar.
This Sunday is the 39th Street Racer championship at York with £1000 prize money. I always enter for a laugh but there are usually a handfull of cars with much more power and race potential as I have. Saying that I have got to a final once and as we know anything can happen in the moment. Looking forward to a great weekend.

Been busy and especially this weekend. Saturday drove to Doncaster and Leeds then back up proper North to Kirkbride for a round of racing on Sunday where I managed to come runner up.
So happy I achieved a heap of points to stay at the top.

Go Derek!Another rather busy weekend completed.
Friday drove 240 miles to the Supernationals rod and custom show near Biggleswade.
Camped the night, went on the cruise there on Saturday then headed to the Leeds cruise on the way (slight detour) home. Today I went to a car show in Blackpool. So another 2600 points this weekend and pulled a little more in the lead so happy with that.
The car is doing wedding duties a week Friday then off to York for 2 days racing.

So this weekend I raced at the penultimate rounds at York and was very happy with the car running relatively easy very low 12's NA. I got to the final on both days to be beat by Russ Pursley in the Dutton on Sunday and Simon Boot in Bootlegger on Monday.
On Monday I also raced in 'Hotrod Supercup'. It only ended up the 4 of us in the finals but 2 of these were Pro FWD (yes FWD!) cars that were quick. So for the first time this year I turned on the nitrous to use in anger albeit just a single stage 70 shot with a cold bottle. It was enough to get my times down to 11.1 and I took the trophy.
Just a visit to Shakey for the hot rod drags and the last race day on 18th and that's it for this year.
Just one thing that spoiled the weekend was a guy called Steve Sherwood who was rather confused to the marshals instructions and reversed his 200mph+ Toyota Supra into the front of mine resulting in this.

Well its now official. I have won.
Despite not making it to the Hot rod drags at Shakey this weekend neither did the only guy that could theoretically catch me on points.
I will still be at the final race round next Sunday at York but I went over on my ankle yesterday. I may have to find someone to pilot the car for me if my ankle isn't healed enough to push on my rather heavy clutch pedal!
