According to Wiki that isn't the hill record.
The current outright record holder is Scott Moran, who set a time of 34.76 seconds in June 2014 in his Gould GR61X. Which is an average of 86.8MPH according to my dodgy maths!
A bit more like 24.76 seconds is the record and he frequently runs close to that. About 125 into bottom S. Takes some cojones.
2 different hills though

Well spotted this is off of the Doune Hillclimb website
The current record set on 22nd June 2014 is held by Scott Moran driving a Gould 3.5L GR61x NME and stands at 34.76 seconds

So Wiki is right.
