Re: BO'NESS HILLCLIMB REVIVAL 2016
Spoke to the organisers at Ignition Glasgow and they have made some changes/improvements for this year. The track has been changed, after you leave the courtyard you turn left along what used to be a closed road that split the car parks. Parking now has been moved further up the hill. This means that there is not spectators crossing the track and also gives more area for car club displays. Ford is a main sponsor and Motors TV will be back.

Re: BO'NESS HILLCLIMB REVIVAL 2016
Thats my entry confirmed for both cars...gulp.
Margaret can I call you about scrutineering?, I'd hate to turn up and not get a drive. I am worried the 964 might be a bit loud for a start..

Re: BO'NESS HILLCLIMB REVIVAL 2016
Great first day and it was like watching two kids in a sweet shop, Johnny and Margaret had a ball. Here's them lining up for one of their runs up the hill.

Re: BO'NESS HILLCLIMB REVIVAL 2016
And of course both looked fab on track. Here Margaret with her black cookie cutters and race tyres, I doubt she will want to give either back to their owners
And Johnny shortly after nearly missing the wall at the first hairpin!

Re: BO'NESS HILLCLIMB REVIVAL 2016
Looking like a typical hill climb event, slow and easy until the light goes green!
Excellent pics, looks a nice day too, Shelsley was miserable!

Re: BO'NESS HILLCLIMB REVIVAL 2016
...and here's the pair of you looking pensive:
I would have stopped for a blether, but you were totally in the zone. Both cars looking great. I've got some action pics, too. Will fire them up later!
