Well its the first Doune hillclimb of the year . . . 2 events, one on SAT, one one SUN . . .

Would be great to see some Loti in the carpark . . . Mac and myself will be competing from here, both in class A5 . . . we'll be the ones in monkey suits talking sh1t about the 'hill' like we are abnormal . . . but trust me, when you have done it at speed . . . you will know why ;-)

I'll be there to enjoy myself and try to go as fast as possible . . . and hoping the car doesn't come apart this weekend ;-)

Come and say hello and absorb some speed - it's good for you . . .

I'm hoping to be there on sunday with 2 guys from work. Also hope to try a hillclimb in an elise at some point this year.


Whats the score for food?? Is there catering on site, or bring your own?

As a wee tip, you might want to fill all your jerry cans (and all the cars as well) up this morning. Dont wait until the weekend :wink:

Weather is to be splendid this weekend :wink:

Would be nice to see a few familar faces before I put myself in hospital trying to drive a road that looks narrower than the car I'm driving :shock:

If any of the snappers are in the area I'd really appreciate some photos to go on the soon to be re-launched Macspower website.


Cheers

Shows the hillclimb course. Used to be signed the Doune motor museum, but it's now some antiques place? Canny miss it.

I might show up if it's a nice day - possibly get Elaine along to some real motorsport :)

Last time I was there, we were trying to get the Hoyabusa up the hill after it stripped it's starter gear. Good times 8)
