Maybe we should all sign up for an event next summer????

The PF sprint challenge. The organisers invite clubs.

I want to go and watch a decent Hillclimb next year! Never been to one yet!

Gurston Down (I think it's called) isn't far away from me at all! Should get up there more!

i went to the fintrey hill climb near me & to be honest there was about a dozen good cars, not one cossie & about 25 of them little f1 looking things (dont know what there called) but i suppose it would be better if you was doing it yourself & not just watching
