Just a few snaps of the Loti being given an airing up the hill. No particular association with the drivers, just a good day out, if a bit chilly....

Great pictures, thanks a lot.
The N? 73 Europa looks mean, do you know if it's a "Banks" creation?
Shelsley is a scary old hill isn't it. Not much room to fall off in.
Cheers
John

No idea about No.73, my mate had the programme! It was also a bit too quick for my camera...
I had the opportunity to go up the hill in my lardy +2 and it took a scary 60seconds. The current hill record is under 23 seconds.... terminal speed over 150mph.
I go for the cars, beer, mates and the pork scratchings (pork rinds, but less refined, to our American friends).

great pics --unfortunately over er we cant even rent a parking lot for a gymnkana --everyone is scared stiff of some errant bit of car falling off and destroying the western hemisphere ----litigation and insurance paranoia rules -- ---and to close a public road for an hour or two with a hill on it is not even a consideration --ed

Shelsley isn't a public road. It claims to be the first purpose built motor sport venue in the world.

Good old fashioned motor racing, you can still stand right next to the track not 3 miles away behind gravel traps, armco, catch fencing ........

Thanks for the extra (almost) picture Jeremy.
During my stays in GB, in the not too distant past, Shelsley hill climb was a must do spectator day for me.
I was there when that record was set by a then very young lad who was following his father's footsteps.
Very memorable.
It's good that Shelsley is still with us; it was looking very shaky a few years ago, even I dug (not too deeply) into my pocket to support its future.
Pork Scratchings aaaaah my mouth's watering; it's the simple things in life isn't it
Cheers

I think the prices you've referred to are for spectators. Competitors pay much more.
