I received this notification this morning:

BARC Yorkshire Centre
Harewood Speed Hillclimb
Classic & Vintage Hillclimb - 4 June 2022

Please note we will be opening for entries at 7pm on the 25 April for the Classic & Vintage Hillclimb on the 4 June and the Jim Thomson Hillclimb on the 5 June.

All opening, discount and closing dates for Harewood events are available to view on our website www.harewoodhill.com

As usual visit https://www.hwoes.co.uk/ to enter (but not before 7pm on Monday!), but you may want to log in and check your details before then!

REMINDER - Entries will close on May 22

As usual MK1 Performance Conversions will be sponsoring Class C19 & it would be great to have a decent selection of Mini's entering. I will laso be awarding the MK1 Performance Conversions Trophy to the fastest 10" wheel, treaded tyre mini on the day.

It has been a very wierd couple of years & it would be great to have a good get together at this very pleasurable informal event.

BUT REMEMBER! Book early! All events at Harewood book up VERY QUICKLY!

Just seen the entry list, with a surprise 1380.....

Great Mini entry, few good mates, plus Tim Harber in C20 in the Biota.

What is Rich out in?

Hi NEW car!

Even I haven't seen it.

Has he fitted a decent set of cutting blades on it?

That's certainly whet my appetite for tomorrow! Great stuff!

A good day yesterday at Harewood. Good to meet up with the regulars and see the new Hawcroft Speciale. All it needs is a gold roof to match the 'er Cooper.

I shot some moving pictures which are now on the YouTube

Mark trying a wee touch too hard!

Rich's new car looks very sharp too.

Brilliant day at Harewood, some great cars and drivers, and fantastic film work by Stuart!
Here's my in car footage

Was great to see everyone at Harewood on Saturday. I think we had a cracking day.

After a terrible first run, my car seemed to clear it's throat & went OK after that. I discovered it is never a good idea to be watching the boost gauge when I should be watching the track Still a very distant 4th though.

Well done to Richard who won our 10" wheel MK1 Trophy for the second year running.

And a HUGE thank you to Stu who has, as ever taken some superb pictures & video!

Cleared a bit of space on my Flickr account for the few pics I took

Thanks Stu for the great vids - we're impressed that you were in four places at once... , a super day out from our spectator point of view, fantastic to watch the Mini's and other machinery. We had a great run over in our 'Tweedy', until he developed a misfire 300yrds from home - today's job - whip the head off to see what's going on!

Sorry to hear that Tweedy caught a bit of a sniffle on the way home. Hope it's not anything to serious. It was good to have a chat on Saturday, all be it a short one.

Hope to see you again very soon.

A great day as always, really enjoyed it! Brilliant work putting the video's together there too Stu......thanks!

Thanks also to the team for the usual help in the paddock with everything. Looking forward to the Montagu!

I'm afraid that it wasn't myself you were chatting to on Saturday, we came and looked at the Mini's in the paddock but didn't want to intrude, so just took a couple of pics. I do wonder whether the Father in Law might have had a chat though..?

The update on Tweedy after my mornings tinkering is a blown head gasket, nothing too major thank goodness!

Hope to meet you some time.
