2015 British Hillclimb championship
Discussion
I say it every year, but this year could be very close indeed.
Scott Moran will be sharing with Alex Summers, which will be very interesting indeed. Tom New/Wallace Menzies are sharing the ex Martin Groves Gould GR55B after Wallace has broken his DJ. Will Hall will be running the 700+ HP engine from Menzies' old DJ in his Force. Tony Hunt will make the step up to a gould, as he'll be sharing John Bradburn's GR55.
If the raptor can reliably run all season long, I'm convinced Jos can win the title.. It should be a good year.
(All that info above was heard from a good source, so taking it from him!)

The fact Jos broke Prescott's outright record by nearly half a second after an accident in the first run off made me think he could win the championship. If the car, and more importantly he can stay consistent I see no reason why he can't win. I think the age of the gould dominance is coming to an end.
Not sure about hitting the limiter? He was doing something silly like 144mph at ess approach though. Although I think he hit 150 at shelsley.

I am very interested to see how the Championship pans out.
My understanding is that Roger was always mindful of taking points off Scott, though of course Alex Summers won't be!
I wouldn't bet against Scott winning a sixth title. It should be close this year, but I say that at the beginning of every season. My understanding is that Roger was always mindful of taking points off Scott, though of course Alex Summers won't be!

The "noise" situation was a joke, I agree, sadly the long delay was not.
On a lighter note, I have told Roy [ Standley ] I intend to get my record back from him
Your 996 was certainly going well! It sounded great too.On a lighter note, I have told Roy [ Standley ] I intend to get my record back from him
Agreed about the hold up. Glad to have read that he's stable in hospital.

Quite possibly - are we assuming Will Hall and Jos Goodyear will fall foulf of the Prescott noise regs again?
I've heard that several drivers won't even bother attending Prescott due to the noise regs. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen. 6 scores do have to be dropped though remember.

Single seater entires look healthy, but a little light on others - sports libre especially. That said I don't know how many competitors Harewood can cater for
Libre is missing Keith Edwards etc. haven't seen that Quattro in a few months now it's competing abroad a lot.Be interesting to see if the Harry Pick/Gary Hill OMS is ready, as it's using BMW bike engine power which is a first I believe.
Richard Spedding's raptor will also hopefully be ready - it looks stunning in white.
