Any Bolocs coming hillclimbing this weekend?
Discussion
As promised to Just1, I thought i'd let you chaps know about this weekend's hillclimbing activities at Gurston Down.
There are 2 meetings this weekend with Saturday being a round of the Paul Matty Lotus Championship and the PRC Speed Championship along with the usual assortment of racing exotica whilst Sunday is a BARC club meeting with cars from minis to F1 powered hillclimb specials.
I'll be racing both days - got a new car to play with too - a Formula Vauxhall Junior hastily acquired after I re-arranged the nose of the Formula Renault testing at Gurston a couple of weeks ago..
Timing on both days is: practice from 8.30am, timed runs from 12 ish with a hour for lunch. Anyone up for it?
Cheers

)? Got to get them into motorsport at an early age...Gurston has some of the best facilities in club motorsport - a restaurant, clean loos, plenty of "safe" areas for kids to play in and loads of things for big kids to drool over!
I think i'm right in saying that adults get charged £8 each to get in and under 14s are free, parking is free too and the roads from Bournemouth to Broad Chalke are definately made for a Lotus..
I'm in car 127 if you want to say hello.

Will ring you and Andrew shortly. Ta all
Thanks for the tickets Andrew, it was a really enjoyable day. It was my first time at a hill climb and it was cool! Looking forward to going back in May for the nationals.
Andrew, how did you do in the end?
We went back to Bournemouth via a few of the cracking roads that Dorset has to offer (this is an obligatory event when Lotustuart is around), including Zig Zag hill - so we did a bit of hill climbing ourselves!! It was my first time driving up Zig Zag too, and I had 3 goes at it!!! woo hoo, it's fun! I'm sure Stu will be posting up a couple of videos.
Spotted:
Laser blue S2 - Hello Mr & Mrs Mozzie - good to see you were enjoying the day too, sorry we didn't make it back up the hill to say goodbye!
Blue S1 with red interior parked next to me at the hill climb, and a red Esprit(?) next to that.
Great day!

Glad you enjoyed the day. Today was good, got a trophy for 2nd in class ahead of some potentially much faster cars - the weather is a great leveller..
Looking forward to the May meeting already.
Cheers
Congratulations!
I am sorry I wasnt there to cheer you on but it sounds like you didnt need me!
I will be there next time.
Well we had a great day too! The weather held but with a damp track gave the competitors plenty to think about!
Andy, thanks for the pointer. I passed your spot in the paddock a few times but there was no one there - but hi anyway. I saw you on the track and you made a better job of Karousel and Ashes than most, so well done for your second.
Best of all the family enjoyed it too. My 18 month old went towards the noise of car engines in the paddock every time - a promising future of a shared passion!
