Hillclimb event on the Isle of man
Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of the members on here have competed on the isle of man before in the manx 3 hills challenge event? There are always plenty of
kit car entries each year, the event consists of 3 days and 3 separate hills and you can choose to do just 1 day, 2 or all 3. The club often offer
package deals for mainland entries which include the entry to the event, travel and accommodation. If I can get my mini build finished in time for
May 2010 then I hope to enter, one of the hills is my route to work and it's fast and a lot of fun, even in the 1996 honda civic saloon that is
my work horse! If anyone is interested then please check out the website for details and membership registration, you may fancy a trip to the island
with a fun hillclimb event thrown in.
