last hillclimb on the scottish calander this weekend at doune, its a british event so alot of entries and great competition,

Cannot wait to go, I have had such an enjoyable season, made loads of new freinds and met some SE'ers that i had only spoken to on here before, if im in the UK next year i will be competing again for sure - maybe move up with the big boys in modified...

Might see some of you there this weekend - i will be the one checking for oil leeks that im being accused of... again

On the saturday night i will most probably be

I'm competing in my Elise this weekend aswell, as is Benjymoto in the VX220.

Should be a good weekend, I'm staying onsite in my Father in Law's motor home so will be partaking in the Haggis supper and a few shandies on Saturday evening.

How late in the day do the runs tend to go on to at Doune? Might be one to pop in for a watch on the way back from KH...

Hi shug, usually for these national events its around 4 that the last ones go out, big entry plus i think a top 12 run off?

Would be good to see you along

Will try to bear in mind for Sunday, esp if weather is dry.

I'll be there also, looking forwards to a dry Doune, but I suspect that will have to wait until next year looking at the forecast

. . .

Last weekend was a wet and oily Golspie (oiled track stopped the competition for the second time this year and I think a few won't be back for while as it's too far to go for a wasted day) . . . still got one properly dry run in with no oil and a new PB by a couple of seconds, really catching my targets for the year now even after a month out of the car, next year on a grands worth of fresh slicks should be interesting

. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgJgaaAe8J0 . . . smooth, easy and quick . . .

Next weekend is the last event of the year - Boyndie Sprint . . . should be a good party on Saturday eve

. . . but we have to get through this weekends party first

Have a good one guys. I decided to give Doune a miss and have a go at Harewood this weekend. It's a couple of years since I was there and since I did Doune twice this year already I thought a change was in order.
Weather doesn't look good for that either.

That's very true - although the armco at the last corner has a tendency to claim quite a few victims.

. . . say hello to Roy Munro in C4 . . .

Will do - there's a few other Scots entered too inc. the Xoomspeed westfield lads.

Looks like a good entry for the nat B's, lets hope the rain holds off.

See you guys tomorrow and have fun at Harewood Kevham.
