what about prospective hillclimbers ? - Do I count ...

What about people who have taken a sabbatical and are going to go back to it?

Just wondered who will be doing hillclimbs at Prescott this year and which dates. I have been going there since the early seventies as a spectator (used to see original cobras back then) and would like to meet up with some of you guys if you are there. I will be competing once I have finished THE FINAL BUILD (again). Give me a shout when you are going and perhaps we could meet up for a chat.

Many thanks for the replies.

BTW

If you're a proper petrol head and you haven't been to Prescott then you have no idea what you've been missing - utterly fantastic place for a day out.

Were you at Curborough on the 10th October last year as well? I think i recognise the car. Much quicker than us!


spiderman - 17/5/11 at 08:55 PM

Hi Guys I will do my best to get to Prescott in June and come and introduce myself and cheer you on. I allways go to the Vintage and vetran meeting in August which is amazing. Priceless cars being driven like they should be, flat out, and the best veiwing track I have been to from a spectaters point of view and you can get into the pits to see cars up close.


JimSpencer - 17/5/11 at 09:26 PM

Hi Phelpsa

Yup would have been at that one, HSA season finale wasn't it? The car's now got a full cage on it compared to the avatar picture though.
Seem to remember the car going quite well but one of the westfield boys went a bit quicker still..


Hi Spiderman

Come over and find us, they lay the paddock out by class, so we should be right next door to each other somewhere!

I think the Procomp westfield with the puma engine got down in the 32s :O I was comparing times with you guys as it was only Andy Dunbar in my class.

We'll probably be right up in the top paddock again i would have thought.

Hi guys,
Family are coming to visit me on the 22nd for a week but they don't mind me dissappearing for a day to visit prescott.
Really odd as parents live about 6 miles from Prescott so they are coming to visit me here in Herefordshire and I am leaving them here to visit Prescott for a day.
Which day would you suggest I come Sat/Sun? I know practice is usually Sat and timed runs on Sun but I am more interested in looking at the engineering in the pits and meeting up with you guys.

Cheers.
Spider.

Phelpsa, what class do you fall into for hillclimbs as your car is unregistered? I have asked the question of a number of car clubs and have had more than one answer!

Cheers, Nick
