Good Reports Ian, less of the mars bar jokes though!
I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that it was a fabulous weekend. James Beckett is an absolute star - well done to him! To explain why I was in the car reading and eating a mars bar, my Dad was tightening the rear hubs, and I had to keep my foot on the break for a long period of time - got a bit boring!

Conclusive proof that the Star of the Midlands is the best FF1600 Championship. Gavin Wills, Justin Dawkins and Peter Daly combined to win the Smart Turnout Grand National prize.

The last photo I am going to post here and I am sure James will wish I hadn't! After the race James Beckett was presented with a commemorative plate and a race programme signed by all of the drivers who competed in the Walter Hayes Trophy. A certain Star of the Midlands driver organised this to allow the drivers to show their appreciation for the effort he put into organising this event. Definitely the most well-deserved award of the lot!

Grand National - North West Cry "FOUL"
It was so unfair to have track conditions so slippery just one week after the SOM boys had a double header practice in the same conditions at Mallory !!! Seriously though, very well done to Peter, Justin and Gavin. Another well done to Ian Sowman for letting the world see what has been going on this weekend via TT and so very quickly after it happened. And a mega well done to James Beckett for bringing it all together. From what I heard around the garages about what a brilliant weekend they had all had and comments from other FF1600 drivers, who were "just down for a look", the 2003 Walter Hayes will be talked about for a long time. Believe me, the numbers in 2004 will be well up. I can't wait. |

I've finally managed to upload images and to be quite frank they are on the whole a bit grotty..some of the assembly area shots are nicer
http://www.paulsands.streamlinenet.c...03/whayes.html Despite the conditions I thought Sunday was great and ts was good to see that a Formula Ford is a Formula Ford is a Formula Ford...the great equaliser old and new mixing it. Kudos to all the drivers out there in such tricky conditions...I felt sure I was on a banker at Copse for the final but you all got round and robbed me of that shot This may have to go onto my annual not to be missed event list Last edited by PaulSands; 10 Nov 2003 at 09:19. |

On a serious note. I don't know how many people who were in the final thought how dangerous the cars were that didn't have LED style rain lights on, you were virtualy on top of them before you knew it where you had another 10 feet or so with the LED style.Is it something that should be manditory in the future ?

Have to agree that some of the lights were poor but the last led lights I ran vibrated themselves to bits.....so that only a few were ever lit....so I changed back.I do think that something should be done though????

I've mounted mine on a piece of ally which i agree does vibrate but it cracks the ally rather than the internals of the unit. You just have to check the ally every so often .

I would have to say I was very envious watching you all line up in the semis sat in the grand stand, but when it got to the final I was quite pleased due to the weather!!! You all drove very well under the conditions. All the guys in the final could do with an applause. Driving standards looked spot on compared to the Festival!!
