Yes , a very good day although not without it's cock-upsnorma wrote:Sorry i didn't make it Rob, the nail in the coffin was having to spend all day at my new factory yesterday with the alarm engineer which only left me today to spend with the family and to actually have a rest!
Hope you guys had fun without me
We had very little time in the club stand area for general tire kicking etc due to the huge volume of cars wanting to do the hillclimb and the administration was a touch disorganised to say the very least --- there seemed to be no co-ordination between various marshals , clerk and paperwork ladies , briefings etc etc. On top of that I was told no helmets(clerk of course) and once he knew my car wasn't road going he said that's it get that car out of here --- it's not going up the hill period , even though I'd asked online regarding it's status . I'm in the damn car sweating running off my face cos it was scorching hot --- attempting to hold my temper but getting pretty bloody mad underneath 
After a lot of '' no way etc etc etc '' and me telling him I'd been decieved by taking my money and me travelling 100 miles (I lied
) -- club stand etc --- He gave in and said I could run with the guest cars/demo cars Well that was ok but there was still the question of my 14yrs old grand daughter going up the hill without helmet ------- I dug my heels in and he let her go with a helmet BUT NOT ME 
Stupid thing was ---- there were guys driving the demo cars , of which I was to be '' one '' who were helmet'd
Anyway I got my own back by the end of the day and 6 runs . On the first run I went into the kitty litter on the second really tight corner but backed out with no damage (learning curve
) Then took several passengers up as well as my own two solo runs ---- after the 5th run with Matt D on board , I was asked by the '' clerk '' to notch it back a little (a complement I took this to be --- nah , a warning really 
)So I thought sod him , it's the 6th and last run plus Stuart's 2nd ride plus the meeting will end after this run.
Absolutely shot up there also hard out of the anticamber top right to the finish line , rear not out of control but nicely drifting as we went flat in 2nd gear -- great and my quickest run
Clerk said now't
but Stuart remarked it was great but buttock clenching Not sure what photos anybody got yet
also took video on board for some runs , not the quickest one though , too much of a hurry to switch it on. After a week or so Stuart's going to help me get that done. Watch this space but send me pic's please anyone for the CKC Mag 
Could have gone a lot faster had I had more runs but not bad for my first Hill Climb fun.
