Spring National Hillclimb - Harewood 10th April

[S-JM]

Hey guys,
Next Sunday (April 10th) is the Spring National Hillclimb at Harewood.
I went to a good 3 or 4 events last year and was a good watch, some ace motors and action. Spectator entry is £10 each, with entry to the paddock to have a nosey, free program and whatnot. You can pretty much see the entire course from the top of the hill but can trek to loads of other parts of the course to watch or stand next to the starting line to watch the motors launch away.
Lineup for this event looks pretty tasty (I've attached the entry list).

So was wondering if anyone fancied having a meet and then a rundown to watch some of the action. Practice is usually all morning then the timed runs usually after the lunch break, see if anyone's up for it then can confirm a meet time / place etc.

Could be a yes from me will double check and let you know

I'll have to do some decorating to get a Sunday off! If the young uns not playing football I'll fetch him along.

 

[leeds_182]

Working so I'm a no go.

Competing elsewhere 10th, although Harewood is on my doorstep.

 

[AJJ]

Only in South Leeds so this is a strong maybe for me, I'll keep an eye on this over the next day or so.

 

[S-JM]

Would be good if you could mate. Got a few maybes so just if everyone just lets me know beforehand.
Checked the weather and it's looking rainy pretty much every day apart from Sunday! Good news!

 

[AJJ]

I looked at that, rain, rain, rain, cloud + sun, rain...
I'm definitely up for this, just need to sort a few bits before I can confirm.

 

[S-JM]

No worries,
Once confirmed (and maybe others) will sort a meeting spot and time etc.

 

[Clio_fool]

I've been slacking and have too much to do, no go for me I'm afraid.
There's a guy from these parts who competes in a liquid yellow 5 GTT, look out for him.

 

[AJJ]

Right, I'm in

 

[S-JM]

Cool, I'll post up a meeting place in the next couple days, 11am I'd say.

 

[S-JM]

Right @AJJ plus anyone still on the fence / might be up for it,
Meet at 11am Sunday at The Dexter pub in Shadwell - it's north Leeds and only about 10mins south of Harewood so looks pretty suitable, post code is LS17 8RZ. I'm picking a pal up from Yeadon prior to this so will be coming from that way!

 

[AJJ]

See you at the Dexter!

 

[leeds2592]

Unfortunately can't make this, going away on Sunday night/Monday morning and got a list as long as my arm of stuff to do before I go!

 

[AJJ]

Maybe we should post this up on the Clio sport Facebook page as there are a few Leeds guys on there who may not look on here as often?

 

[S-JM]

Yeah good shout mate, I'll post a message up after work.

any photos from today @Savage_Steve_1 ?

 

[S-JM]

I got plenty of photos mate, only one of yours is this one of you kicking back waiting to go.
I'm fairly sure @AJJ got some action and pit shots of you too.
How'd the day go? Get some good runs in? Was a good day out, albeit the scorched forhead!

 

[bashracing]

First timed run was ok but not amazing, the second run was very quick but I had brake failure at farmhouse corner at 67 mph which was fairly dramatic.
I'm sure it'll be on YouTube soon.
