DSL Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Not directly relevent to our championship but none the less I thought it worth a mention on here..... Brodie, Jez,me & Dave Kimberley went to Gurston Down Hillclimb on Sunday, only DK had been to this hill previously, but he had never driven my car before. Anyway on his FIRST EVER run up the hill Brodie went 2/10ths of a second faster than the class record that had stood for over 4 years 😳 😳 The locals were somewhat shocked & started a wispering enquiry in the paddock as to who he was & how he was so fast. The rest of us finished with less than 2/10ths of a second between us, Brodie 1.1 seconds clear over a 32 secondish run 😳 😳 *thumbup*
RichardO Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Ah, he's getting better then - it took him until the second practice run to beat the course record at Longcross last year 😬
Manxseven Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Wish I known you were all competing I would have come up, (only live 10 miles away) Write up (and picture of Brodie) on the Gurston Web-site here Caterham Fireblade here

DSL Posted June 21, 2006 Author Posted June 21, 2006 Thanks for the Gurston link Manx, had not seen that *thumbup*
Mrs Kipper Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Fantastic. That man is a genius 😬 Kipper Fun is not a straight line.
Adrian Williams Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Well done guys What's the record at Shelsey 🤔 Adrian
david nelson Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Well done Brodie. I had been there on the Tuesday for the sprint school. What about going there with are champoinship? David SL #146 2:1
DSL Posted June 21, 2006 Author Posted June 21, 2006 Adrian, Shelsley record Robert Kendrick at 30.58, when I did shels earlier this year for the first time I managed a 31.39, so Brodie should be well under the 1400cc record *thumbup*
Adrian Williams Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Thanks for that Darren I thought it was Robert Kendrick. I agree we should see Brodie a couple of tenths or so inside that. Adrian
Tam Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Excellent 😬 A great result for you all and a storming drive from Brodie
Brodie Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Cheers all!Just popping out to buy an extra-large crash helmet now!!Looks like the pressure is on for Shelsley 😬 '......in yer bike!'
Adrian Williams Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 While you're in the shop Brodie get yourself an extra large cricket box to make sure they've got enough room 😬 Adrian
