Cheers, How about 3 metres X 2 metres in SE white/navy ?

Only joking, anything up to about 90mm wide should do fine.

Aye! very strange.....the only consistent thing about the whole weekend were my times :

BTW - what does that say on the back of your car?

or you could ask Kilometres cousin

I suspect this is lost on the majority of S_E'ers

Nice advertising though

I thought it was his larger brother

About 1.609 larger

Great result Fergus, especially at Doune very scary.

Cheers

I thought it only reasonable to sign up and say thanks for all the comments, of course Dr Hoy forgot to mention that he also won his class, so a bit of a team effort in the roadcar classes

Just got the entry sheet through for the Forrestburn Hillclimb this Sunday, and there's every chance we can take a couple of classes again . . . or have a good blast trying . . . which is really all that is important . . .

well done FD. if my car survives, i'll get along to at least one hill climb this year. I think i need bigger balls though, looks a bit narrow in the photos

McKeann, start somewhere simple like Fintray. It's chiefly about power so you should do quite well. It's a lot easier to start there than Doune or Forrestburn.

Fergus, I'd imagine your car will go well at Forrestburn due to it's lack of weight - with the downhill sections it'll stop very well so you should gain a lot of advantage over heavier cars there.
