Mark Durrant Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 This weekend is the final round of the British Hillclimb Championship that was re-arranged following the landslide in July. Not only are the big single seaters top present but Ken Evans, Brodie Branch and Dave Kimberley are competing, oh and the Clerk may be familiar to one or two of you. Details can be found here The weather looks to be set fair (fingers crossed) so leave those upgrades/domestic chores for another week I plan to be there on the Sunday so come and say hello Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlymoFraser Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Thanks Mrs K. My speed reading obviously needs a little work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl0498 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hi Everyone, The Shelsley Walsh meeting on Saturday and Sunday actually starts at 9.30 NOT 10am as shown on the website. So timed runs will start on Sunday at 9.30am. Yes I know thats really early - why we are starting earlier is simple - concern about the impact of October weather conditions - the potential for fog, low sun etc and hence we want to allow plenty of time. This is also why the positioning of the Top 12 run off in the two timed runs has been brought forward and will not be at the end of the two sets of runs. I am sure it will be a great weekend and to maximise enjoyment be there early. Come and say Hi in the Farmyard too! Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Kipper Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Oh golly, that means Kipper will want to leave at 7:00 rather than 7:30 An extra layer of clothing will be required at that time of the morning 😬 See you there Mrs K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Kipper Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Lovely to see everyone - I do like all those kisses 😬 Great to see Martin Groves' record breaking run Saw Ken's and Brodie's second timed runs - well done to both - and then set off for home - a 3 hour run back through the Cotswolds. It was Kipper's turn to do the hill at Broadway 😬 See you all again soon Mrs K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Durrant Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 An excellent turn out to watch a great days motor sport Congratulations to Brodie and Ken for setting some excellent times. The speed of the big single seaters had to be seen to be believed and the sound of the V10 3 litre at full chat was just awsesome. See you all at the awards lunch if not before Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
