Lisa Beezer Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I've been following Dad and Matthew's progress in the Speed Championship over the last couple of years, but this year I have become completely hooked and today it became official - my club membership card arrived! 😬 Now I'm looking forward to a possible dual drive with Dad next season and my Christmas list is growing by the day!!  Lisa     Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlymoFraser Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 dual drive with Dad next season  You mean he has pursuaded you to be his tyre warmer 😔 Andrew are there no depths you will not plumb for greater glory...your own daughter 😔 😔 😳 Seriously, welcome aboard Lisa You need to pursuade your dad to slow up so that he doesn't spoil your percentages too much 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaterBram Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Lisa is probably light than Andrew so once she's got the hang of it will probably beat everybody including her dad if the family skills have been passed on. Glad i'm in Class 2 as it looks like a bit of a hot battle in Class 1 again next year  Q469 WET 1990 Caterham 1690 Crossflow Long Cockpit in Ali except for the red bits.CaterBram on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Laddie Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Welcome Lisa Glad to have you with us, even if it means yet another fast Willoughby 😬 You've obviously scared Matthew enough to get him to change class. I bet your dad will follow and dual drive his car leaving you to win Class 1 Enjoy, Mike (aka VII SVN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offspring Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Welcome Lisa  Perhaps you might leave the hand brake on a couple of notches for when dad jumps in the car?     Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveGr Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009  Hi Lisa, Welcome from me too! You are certain to have fun.  Honestly though, you get rid of one fast willoughby out of the class and another one appears, aren't there any MSA regulations on maximum willoughby density?  Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaterBram Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I think i've read somewhere that the critical Willoughby density in a class is two other wise strange thinks start happening to the space time continum, Got to have some reason for being so darn fast. :) Q469 WET 1990 Caterham 1690 Crossflow Long Cockpit in Ali except for the red bits.CaterBram on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies Angel Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Well done Lisa! They are perfect gentlemen in Class 1 but they do need some ladies in classes 1& 2. I am sure that you will have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Willoughby Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Doh! - no sooner do I successfully encourage one fast offspring to change classes than another one pops up to spoil my party! But I have another cunning plan! (don't tell Lisa ) She's coming to us for Christmas so I intend fattening her up a bit with turkey, trimmings, pud, alcohol, etc, etc. That way I shan't have to faff around lengthening the belts when it's my turn, and the added ballast might slow her down a bit  Looking forward to seeing you all at the lunch with the other members of WR. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Beezer Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Thank you everyone! One of the main reasons I decided to have a go was because everyone has been so welcoming this year and I've really enjoyed spending time in the paddock as Dad's "Spanner Monkey"! I'm really looking forward to the awards lunch next week. Do not fear, I'll be keeping my eye on Dad and watching out for any cunning plans he may have up his sleeve, but I'm certainly not going to be turning down free food and booze at Christmas - I doubt he'll be able to refuse Mum's cooking either, so it'll even out in the end!    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame W Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Lisa, welcome to the fold (or is it mad house) sure you will enjoy every minute of it. By the way theres a paddock bacon butty in it if you can get your brother to over indulge at Chrismas as well, in an attempt to even out the power to weight ratio differences in the pensioned off Roadsport A racer group of class 3 Grahame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Beezer Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks Grahame. I'll see what I can do with Matthew, but I'm afraid I can't promise anything - he seems to have the power to say "no" to food when other Willoughbys can't resist! (Although I do recall him eating an enormous amount of chocolate before Christmas lunch on a number of occasions... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
