Let's hope it's a mucky day - torrential rain so you Aero boys loose a bit of grip and do 30 seconds of wheel spins on the start
I'll have a bit more ballast over the rear

Aha! The "red mist syndrome"! Practice your starts somewhere to get the "feel"..... A quiet road with a slight slope to mimic Shelsley...... I have the golf club drive to use! A bit of wheel spin and fishtail to please the crowds..... Take revs up to get speed up then watch carefully and ease back at bends/curves, careful throttle on exits, the course is a bit narrow for drifts..... Pick the flies out of your teeth at the end due to the large smile.... At Prescott there are more tight bends so the fun is getting your lines right and not so much out and out speed. Shelsley is not as " bendy". Oh no! All this talk is making me want to book runs myself now....  Go on - Sospan! You know you want to really! It must be green mist when that light changes!

If it rains you also get wet, and we just pull away in second.

I've heard The hill climb really suits a Morgan 4/4 Four seater with 4 occupants, luggage and a folded wheelchair on the back
That's how I'll be going up the hill this year
Might take off my hat to lighten the load
Will I break 1 minute? Stewart - perhaps you should have a trailer on the back as well? Sure they won't mind...

Steward Roger?? That was a pal of mine, a hill climb competitor, occasional marshal and all round good fellow (apart perhaps for the MG fetish, but he does own several other cars including an XKR convertible...)

Apologies, Graham - I meant Marshall. Think I must have been reminiscing about being on the start line when I wrote that! He is a nice guy - he was very calming when my right foot wasn't! We'll be there. If I have to sell a kidney just to pay to go up that hill again....
