Welsh TT

Post by MikeNash »

What ho, chums!
Just spotted on the Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club this link which gives you a guided tour of the 5.25 mile circuit in the Sennybridge/Brecon Beacons area which'll host racing on open roads (owned by MOD) on the 4-5th of August next year. Perhaps "Cardiff Rob" can give us a time to lap it in his bolide!

Anyway, it sounds good to me, MikeN.
Morris Minor, the car of the future. One day they will all look like this!

Our local well-known steep hill Sutton Bank was recently closed for maintenance for a week. It struck me what a good opportunity for an occasional hill-climb day before it re-opened Pay per run, timing set-up, mandatory competition insurance etc, would be a hoot. Even has a large parking area at the top.

Sutton Bank was one of the early venues for Speed Hill Climbing.
For a good read on the history of British speed hill climbing I can recommend Uphill Racers by Chris Mason. ISBN: 1-870519-08-6.

A lot of 1st gear in a Minor. When I had a GT-Four it was mainly 3rd and fourth, only 2nd at the steep bend
