Very good advice from Graham:)) I hillclimbed for 3 seasons 20+ years ago.Had to give up because

gave me an ultimatum " its the car or me" - a v tough choice and one that took a long time to decide!
My advice....if u are going to drive the hill ...and BTW I am...walk the course carefully ...try to decided your braking/turning points and try to stick to them!Look at them from the drivers position ie not stood up! ok u may look a D**K but its the best way -simply crouch down. If you get out of your comfort zone give yourself time to back off - its not worth going for the Hero moments - I know my mate died this way:(((
Try to keep calm and above all drive as smoothly as you can - and remember its just u and u are there to enjoy - not break the track record!IF you take a passenger then do not do anything to risk them.Hope this helps - and hope to meet many TMs there.
ps ...maybe when I get on the line ...
