British hillclimb championship - 2014

[Skylinecrazy]

Anybody been following it this year? Closest it's been in a very long time with the championship leader Scott Moran only actually winning 1 event so far.

Very exciting this year, especially with the supercharged bike engine cars catching up with the bigger engined cars!

[Skylinecrazy]

I can't see Scott being beaten this season though just because of his sheer consistency. Everyone else seems to be having issues!

Shame about the DJs because they were flying earlier in the season! Both should I imagine be back for Doune.

[Skylinecrazy]

Already heard in the paddock that the car could have been ready for Loton! Crazy really!

Aye, Will's going well this year! I imagine he'll be challenging for the title over the next few years.

[Skylinecrazy]

So looking at resultsman it looks like Jos took 3 seconds off Alex Summers' old record! That's madness!! Scott with two runs under the record, to take 22 points.

Good to see Alex Summers running again too after the loton shunt.

[Skylinecrazy]

That's a fantastic run from Jos, he's certainly one of the most exciting drivers in the championship. He'd be right up there if the car was ready earlier!

Harewood next, I'll most probably be going up to Yorkshire.

[Skylinecrazy]

Harewood tomorrow then! Anybody going?

Looks like the dailynx Audis are there, as well as Tom Ingram in the BTCC avensis!

As far as the championship is concerned though, I reckon it's the perfect track for Jos to take the win in the 'charged raptor, although Scott always goes well at Harewood. Be good to see the GR59 out too with Paul Haimes driving.

[Skylinecrazy]

Starting to believe that the future is not in boosted bike engines. They seem to be way too fragile.

Notable performances at Harewood by both Richard Spedding and Steve Owen. Both were flying!

[Skylinecrazy]

Heard from a competitor that the Summers' DJ is for sale and he's going V8. Not sure how true that is mind.

Shelsley this weekend anyway, anybody going? Will Hall has been flying recently with a maximum 22 at Wiscombe, and Trevor Willis is seemingly back on the pace after a double win in Ireland.

Table going into Shelsley -

[Skylinecrazy]

Will be interesting to see how Wallace gets on after his huge accident too..

[Skylinecrazy]

Alex was flying too. Found out that the V8 he's using next year happens to be Scott's Gould - so that'll be interesting!

Will Hall is slowly reeling in Trevor Willis in and has reduced the gap yet again to 15 points. Wallace Menzies must have had a disappointing weekend not qualifying for either run off.



Gurston next week, and I'll be making the long drive down

[Skylinecrazy]

Driveshaft went on the line for Wallace.

Roger's rallying next year apparently, so Alex is taking over the sharing duty - I presume Scott will be in it still!

The new Gould has had lots of issues with cooling etc apparently, which has sadly meant Paul Haimes has very rarely been out.

Did anyone go?

Wow.

[Skylinecrazy]

You've been going well this year Tony, and have managed to get quite a few class records! You'd probably have won the leaders championship if numbers weren't low at certain events.

[Skylinecrazy]

Sadly not, I'm just a keep spectator who has enough free time to go to virtually all events. Although a purchase has been made so I can compete next year.

[Skylinecrazy]

I wouldn't say lesser, but it's not a road going car anyway. I've got a bike engined Fisher fury which will be out to play hopefully.

I'll say hello if you're at Loton. Doune is a tad too far!

[Skylinecrazy]

Yes, the little red supercharged beastie

I've never seen that many crashes either in all honesty, but as far as I know all drivers are reported ok. Some were mechanical issues, at least I know one was. Others were probably just over enthusiasm!

[Skylinecrazy]

Was never in any doubt! Will be a lot closer next year though.

[Skylinecrazy]

Alex goes quite well at Loton, and only needs 4th places to consolidate his position. Have you got an entry list for Loton Tony? There's not one on the site yet!

[Skylinecrazy]

Good entry list with no Roy Standley

Will you be doing the same again next year?

[Skylinecrazy]

Where are the entries at? Would love to go over and see that!
