Speedweekend 2005 I thought it worth writing a piece on not just the past years, but also the meetings that have really stuck out for me, and there was something of a buzz around the Nuttscorner Oval 2005 Speedweekend that just made it special. Although there had been 2 day meetings at Nuttscorner Oval in the previous summers, 2005 was the first of them to have been branded a Speedweekend.

Slick tyres arrived in F2, not just treaded tyres that had been buffed down to slicks, but tyres that actually came out of the factory as slicks. Graham Fegan won the European Championship, Gary Grattan won the Irish closed and Dutch man Willie Peeters won the world at Northampton.

Between 2009 and 2010 I have managed to raise over £1,000 for charities which are close to my heart, and I hope this year we will continue to get a good response on calendar sales. This year I have opted to go with 3 designs, a Nuttscorner Oval calendar, a General NI Oval Racing Calendar and new for this year a 2LitreHotRod.com calendar.
