Anyone going to the MGCC hillclimb this Sunday at Scammonden?
As I've got the day to myself I might forsake the TF & ride over on the Tiger weather permitting of course my days of watching motorsport in the cold & wet are well past!!

I quite fancied having a look at this.... anyone else???

A tad too far for me, but if weather is fine will be going to Gurston Down on 26th, and Wiscombe Park in July.

Wiscombe is great, I was there about three weeks ago.

Lovely area, fantastic surroundings, exciting track.

I like the last bend at the top of the climb, it's a tight left hander with odd camber and as they fly up the straight towards it I've seen a few drivers brake late and either go straight on up the run-off lane or into the outside bank. If they get it right though, they often drift it right up to the finishing line.

Totally agree. Not been there for 3yrs or so, so I thought it time to make another visit. Might even B&B somewhere in the area for the weekend.

It must be 25yrs since I've been to Scammonden in the days when I was an active motor club member not as good as Harewood as its very short but worth a look.
