Hi everyone,
Having owned many different types of cars over the years racing in different types of events and I have returned to the Jaguars I love and after a run at the best concours Jaguar I am moving back to racing. Here is a photo of my JCNA regional class champion, be patient as it may take a moment to load.

I have a sister coupe and I will post some photos soon, that I and a friend helping me, will be running in the street class to get my speed license and a feel for the event. I think we can get into the 130 mph club. I need accurate numbers to put into the formulas Sumner has posted, thanks Sum, to determine the HP needed on the motor we are building for 2009. As Poo would say, it will have a Jagular motor not a Hefalump motor.
I feel as if I am a part of the forum due to the lurking I have been doing for the past few months. You gladly share information and jump in to help if needed. I hope to add to the insight and knowledge of LSR as time goes by. While my XJS will not be as radical as the Aussies car, at least to start! I do plan to go fast.
As a newbie I have a few questions. How do you measure height? Does any one have a rule book from the past few years I could get my filthy hands on, well some times they are clean. I have been reading everything on the various websites, lots of fantastic cars and workmanship. I am looking forward to meeting you in August and sharing an English beer.
Well, enough of this fun… It’s back to painting the ceilings!
