PRESCOTT HILL CLIMB OPEN CLASSIC CAR EVENT May 9/10 2009
Discussion
Did this this year great fun would recommend. TVR S's are considered to be particularly interesting vehicles so they are welcome. details below:
Cheltenham Cleeve Vale Rotary Club invites classic car owners to an event to be held on the weekend of 9th and 10th May 2009. The event is open to all pre-1980 vehicles but exceptions may be made at the discretion of the organisers for particularly interesting vehicles.
Sunday 10th will be devoted to display and driving the famous hill, with passengers if you wish, in marshalled but un-timed runs. Un-timed runs eliminate the need for crash helmets and the full gamut of safety equipment etc. However vehicles must have valid road tax, MOT and insurance documentation. The Paddock entry fee is £46 per car [inclusive of 2 runs up the hill all passengers and a souvenir programme]. Entries are limited to 200. Additional runs if available will be £5 each.
As before we will also be having a static display in a designated area of the Orchard for classic, vintage and special vehicles. For those who wish we will also be repeating the gentle cavalcades up the hill so that vehicles can be displayed in motion to the attending public. We feel this significantly enhances the presentation of the superb range of vehicles expected. The Orchard [static] entry fee is £18 per car which includes all passengers , a free programme and at least one cavalcade drive up the hill.
Block bookings by Clubs will be particularly welcome and we will endeavour to park such groups together.
On Saturday we are offering a 60 mile Cotswold tour starting and finishing at Prescott, where at the end there will be a cuppa and homemade cake.
Spectators will be welcome on the Sunday at £15 per car with free car parking, souvenir programme and pedestrian access to the Paddock etc.
If you are interested PM me and I will send a copy of entry form etc

. No contest reallyI'll be travelling up from Hertfordshire for this - well actually, I'm visiting my parents in nearby Bishop's Cleeve but will be coming along to Prescott on the Sunday. If my memory is correct, the Sunday racing will also involve Morgans and Astons amongst others so should be very good.
[Rummage, rummage][Finds entry list]
There are Bugattis, Morgans, TVRs (hurrah!), Triumphs, VSCC, Coopers, Astons and then the Midland Speed classes with an assortment from Minis through Westfields to single seaters.
About 150 entrants. Should be a good day. The TVRs are around entry # 100, so we probably won't get on the hill until about 10am for first practise.
And just for laughs, here's me making a cock of Pardon Hairpin last year;

LOL - I can do better than that 
You braked a little late for the hairpin. Spot the blue smoke
Braked too late (You can see the front wheel's not rotating, even though the back one is), turned in too soon, missed the apex by yards. Thanks for documenting it. You braked a little late for the hairpin. Spot the blue smoke

I have to say it's a really great place. Everyone is really friendly, the old bugattis are fantastic and you can get really close to the track. No need for long lenses here.
Last years photo's are here if anyone wants a taster. We've even got special TVR parking.
