Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 See the times competitors are getting in real time here http://www.swtimekeepinglive.co.uk/index.html Having a quick look through, Barry Slingsby looks like he is fastest beating lots of racing car's, but only practice runs so far.

Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 good old barry blowing them all away Yep, I was very impressed, it's same as Terry & Nunny at 3 sisters making the racing car drivers look silly. That's why driving a Westie does make you a better driver :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgey Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 So frustrating. My last run was going super - way faster than previous, then as I entered the 1st hairpin (saw bridge?) - I was over heavy with the gear stick and tried ramming reverse instead of 1st a few times. Run ruined. Ahh well. I'll learn from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 shame Dodgey - did you enjoy it though mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgey Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Loved it - but my competitive nature (even competing against myself) left me annoyed with my last run. Mind you, Pete has reason to moan - a big diversion onto the grass bank at the very 1st corner on his last session but it seems his car is ok ... fingers crossed. Some poor lad in an Evo flew into the undergrowth at a massive speed after bunnies leap. It's a very technical hill - way more so than Gurston. A real test. My head was awash with conflicting ideas of how I should proceed each time. A real challenge! And one that makes you man-up to the challenge. Not a run for the faint hearted! :-) (as a spectator one thing you don't realise is that you enter the Esses complex blind, and the 1st few bends are blind - but as you get experience - boy is it fun !)

Paul Morcom Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I was the same in my first year in 2009. 1st event and hill was Gurston Down and I caught the bug big time. The next event was Loton Park and then I really discovered what hill climbing was all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Pleased you enjoyed it, it's know as a hill for the "committed" which you can take as you wish :D Shame about trying to grab reverse Dodgey, but much better than going off there !

Dodgey Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 1st Timed run. Not brilliant but hey... 2nd Timed run - faster, for a while... - but then the massive gear change balls-up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobC Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Looking good for your first time! I think we all had a great weekend... I smashed my best results by 2 seconds on both days which I happy with... and there was no repeat of 2011 either... which was nice. my fastest run from yesterday, slightly slower than saturday... would have been nice to go quicker, but I can see where I can take a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Rob Greta effort and liked the video but if I can say it you need to keep your hands on steering wheel and also not grab it from underneath to get extra lock You may need a quicker rack or shorter steering arms What uprights are you using?

RobC Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 front uprights are cortina. Yeah rack is a standard one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
