Fintray 9th & 10th May
Discussion
Fintray House Hillclimb is on this weekend with over 100 cars each day from small saloons to fully blown F1 engined single seaters attacking the very demanding twisty track. £4 for adults and £2 for kids and pensioners for the day. Food and refreshments are available as well as being able to mingle with the drivers and their cars in the paddock. Good day out for the real motorsport enthusiasts. Come and see real racing drivers (not ones that play at being one at some venues I will not mention) against the clock with a need for speed.
Still demand for marshals if anyone can help.
There for 8.30am, you'll get
a) a free lunch and a wee 'donation' for your help
b) the best seats in the house
c) to help run the event giving you a sense of satisfaction that, without you, 108 (Saturday) and 117 (Sunday) idiots would not be able to race their cars.
Go on, you know you'll only be doing the shopping or something else mundane if you don't marshal!

sorry,yup 100 cars each day, good turnout
demanding?? you kidding me, its 3 corners and it's over in 25 - 35 secs!
everytime i've competed at fintray i've nearly fallen asleep before the top!
doune is a far more demanding hill!

Either you weren't trying hard enough or you were sandbagging.
Which ever way..... not good!

I assume therefore that’s it's just a typo error why your name is not listed on any of the class records for this so "unchallenging" of events, oh sleepy one!!everytime i've competed at fintray i've nearly fallen asleep before the top!
Fortunately for Scottish motorsport 100+ other competitors have deemed it a worthy enough challenge, to spend a lot of time and monmey this weekend trying to stay awake and master it!!

used to compete in A2 in 2007,
its a 300 mile round trip for about 3 miles of competing over the weekend
everything else about the event is fantastic, good spectating, good setup in the paddock but the 3 corners just dont do it for me
