Hillclimbs are my favourite compettive events but there is an awful lot of hanging around waiting for a run, 4 or 5 runs per day is all you will get , 2 of which are practice, and the runs in England are only of 35-60 seconds duration depending on the track and car. At my local track, Harewood,
the Formula 1 engined single seaters are doing over 125mph through the speed trap which is closely followed by a 90 degree right. Even my kitcar is doing over 90mph .Through the farmyard
I am flatout in 3rd gear between 2 stone walls 8 feet apart, makes for precision steering in my tail happy car which has happily stopped by then from wagging its tail after the hairpin (never seen anyone hit either of those walls though).
