Re: Harewood Hillclimb - Historic Meeting June 2016
Hi Folks, I'm a bit late back here, but always try to avoid the computer at the weekend.
We had a good day didn't we!
Congratulations to John, who certainly showed us all how it should be done!
And to Steve, who was really flying, when he could find his gears
(Excuse Alert) As for me, I suffered with my last minute purchase of a new set of A032-Rs, they didn't have the desired effect as they were so slippy on the first couple of runs I practically shat myself. Managed to get quicker through the day though.
The biggest drawback in running in our class was not being able to watch Rich's antics!!! If there was a pot for most entertaining run of the day you would have had no competition.
Well done too to Stu & Nick M for such great pictures & to everyone else who took part. We had a great day & the sun even managed to make an appearance by close of play.
Lets hope that this is the first of many!
