MSA Championships 2008
The MSA have provisionally confirmed Championship status for XJSs & Saloons & I am in the process of submitting final proposals.

XKs in 2008
MSA have granted outline approval on a yellow card but, as numbers have fallen below the 18-car average grid, championship approval is unlikely to be granted. HOWEVER we are in discussion with a number of other parties to launch a very exciting new concept in 2008. Watch this space.

Powered by Jaguars in 2008
These races have also lost championship status but, as with the XKs, a new series is being discussed for 2008.

JEC Stand at Stoneleigh Show – 14-16th March
Nothing to add at this point but details will follow in the New Year.

Amazingly we have just completed 9th race season &, moving into the 10th anniversary year, it just gets better & better. Thank you all for your tremendous support & friendship throughout the season & we are all looking forward to meeting you all for a great 2008.
