Curburough Sprint

Piccies from the Westfield Sports Car Club's Sprint last month

Purely a personal opinion, but can there be anything more tedious than watching 80-odd Westfields being driven (most very badly) around Curborough?

Oh dear oh dear, I seem to have upset a few people(obviously Westfield owners).I was giving an opinion purely from a spectators point of view. I find that motorsport involving one make of ANY type of car to be fairly tedious-more so at Curborough where there are limited vantage points, and where the main action is a fair distance from the spectator banking. I think it's great that people want to compete with their machinery, and to be honest, it doesn't really matter whether they are quick or not as long as they derive some enjoyment from it. It is a fact, though, that many drivers in the kit car class are not particularly quick... And just to clarify a point. I have competed in many sprints and hillclimbs (although not for three years or so) with considerable success, and until last season held our Club Curborough record for up to 1700 Kit Cars, set in a 120 bhp x-flow powered Sylva Striker on hard Falken rubber (not the sticky shaved down Bridgestone Pole Positions) that abound in that class today. So I do know what I'm talking about.(I think...)
