Bright and breezy day at Harewood.

Plenty of action, and a great variety of machines on the hill.

Here's a couple of snaps, more to follow later in the week.

You kept that one quiet boys !, would have fitted some 1960 plates to the "Mighty Mini" , looks like one for next year in my "60"

Having a run out on Saturday (13th) at Barbon Hillcimb near Kirkby Lonsdale in the Mighty, quite a few Minis out, wont be as quick as the scooby but I just put in a late entry,..... Day off work, few mates doing it .. local event .. why not !

Nice pics as always

Excellent images as always Surf.

It was good to see you there.

Pleased to report a MK1 Perf Cons 1, 2 with Rich breaking the class record by about 5 seconds.

it was a good day out, very different to circuit racing. a lot of sat around (but it meant that there was plenty of time to have a good look at the other stuff, chat, eat, sunbath, hide from the wind) then a bit of queuing and then a frantic minute or so....

it would actually make a very good event for the mk1 perf calendar next year, the C19 class is a special that's run on the VSCC weekend for saloons that are pre 1972, so it would be great to get a load of minis there next year - with a bit of thought it could be a one off 'mk1 perf championship', my 'ahem' class record is there to be broken!

im sure there are plenty of people on here who have the right licence!

oh, and the red cooper s was a cracker, the owner was a really nice guy

Is the red S driven by Mike Garstang? Can't see the driver in the pic, but I think I recognise the reg

It was, not only was it a nice car, but mike was a really nice guy as well

Ahem, but i'm afraid, based on the photos, the Mini drivers were displaying a rather significant lack of commitment when compared to other competitors.

I'm sure surf has some photos with more commitment.....

Cold, bald cr65's certainley made it slithery and exciting......

Very true. If I hadn't reset the suspension on the Hoosley after Blyton I'm sure I could have recreated some of the poses

[surfblue63]

I see from the results that Rich was pretty consistent with his times, posting the exact same on both timed runs.

[rich@minispares.com]

I don't know how I managed that!

Spooky or what?

[mk1]

He had peaked. Simply couldn't go any faster, where as I was still improving

[rich@minispares.com]

I was holding back, so that Mark, driving a larger engined car, with freshly set up suspension wasn't too embarrassed........
