Hi guys just woundered if anybody knows anything about the world of hillclimbing. Im interested in using my 1300xflow locost in some sort of competitive events. Where can I find out about hillclimb events, regulations, costs, locations etc?

Any help is much appreciated!

Cheers

Forrestburn - the best little hillclimb track in the world (except Doune, obviously).

Thanks mate, I guess that place is in Scotland? Bit far! Anywhere in the Northwest (cheshire), or the Midlands would be ideal.

There is also a hillclimb at Harewood on Saturday and Sunday this week details here www.harewoodhill.co.uk. Not far from the North West, and a great venue which would welcome a 1300 locost.

Does anyone know the regulations to take part in Hillclimbing, are they as comprehensive as racing regulations?


andyps - 12/5/06 at 12:34 PM

Not as much needed as racing - have a look on the harewood website, link above, for the getting started and regulations pages.

Hi if you stick to road going ie taxed and tested class you will be suprised how little you have to do.


andyps - 12/5/06 at 01:25 PM

But I think you will need a windscreen on a seven.

Get the regs book.

If your in the road going class, there'll only be a couple of things like cuttoff stickers etc..

P.S

Love Doune, my fav course to watch at least, although i like prescott and loton park as well.
