Cheers Stuart, good weekend wasn't it. Graham (Voodoo on here) and I had a great tussle all weekend, and i'm not sure where that last time came from - but i'll take it. Chris With your anticipated mods, there will be only one class for you in Hillclimbs and Sprints, and that's Sports Libre. This is ...

We have 5 entrants in class N this year as below Stuart Cairney Hillman Imp 998 Graham Cashmore Davrian Mk 6 1040 Ifan Davies Davrian Mk6 998 Mark Paterson Ginetta G15 998 Graeme Williamson Hillman Imp 930 Great to see 2 new guys in Ifan and Mark, along with the guys who kept the class alive last ye...

Mark The HSA classes are scored independent of the class the car is run on the day, but - our championship regs were passed back to us last year when they went to approval, because we had classes the had multiple categories. We had to do some work to appease the MSA, which was very galling to see at...

Graham
I will check up on this

Eric

Peter K. The new Categories for production based cars are Road-Going series production cars - min quantity 1000 per year Road-Going Specialist cars - min quantity 20 per year Modified Limited production cars - min quantity 100 per year (might change to 1000 next year) Modified Specialist cars - min ...

Stuart, i better get polishing the trailer :D :D Peter K. With the new categories from the MSA it is getting more difficult to do this. With a standard road car you can compete without any extra safety gear, but if you modify the car to take it out of the roadgoing class, i.e. fit perspex windows, r...

Keith The 'new for 2010' class N is for any road based Imp (and all variants) or clan or davrian that complies with the regs for Modified Specialist Production cars see section 12 in http://www.msauk.org/uploadedfiles/msa_forms/bluebooks/10/323-334%20Sprints,%20etc.pdf . Basically its the fully modi...

Right, due to some rule changes by the MSA the imp classes have had to change for 2010 in the H.S.A. Speed Championship. The main change being that we are unable to run class P anymore. The MSA have stipulated all classes must only have cars from one category (i.e. production cars, racing cars etc)...

Calling all Northern Impers, this weekends HSA round is up norf at Harewood , nr leeds. There are a few of us impers ( and tupperware versions ) having a go. Andrew Russell 1120 Ginetta G15 Stuart Cairney 998 Imp Andrew Cairney 998 Imp Micheal Tindale 875 Clan Crusader Eric morrey 875T Clan Crusader...

The HSA round this week was at MIRA, unfortunately no good for spectators, but Graham Cashmore (Dav mk6), Joe Tisdall (Vixen) and me (clan) all had fun. Weather was dry for first practice and wet for the other 2 practice runs. nice and dry for the timed runs in the afternoon. I started off with a sl...

But I have to prioritise my scant money and time towards getting the ManiacImp up and running and fit for the trip up to Imp '08. Failure is NOT an option!

Come on Paul, just think what a day off watching will do for your enthusiasm

, you'll have it finished in a week

Curborough on Sunday Should be a good turnout at curbourough this sunday for imp powered vehicles. Its the last HSA event of the year and we all try to make it. Imp powered vehicles are making up nearly 10% of the entry, well there are 7 of us. Stuart Cairney - Hillman Imp Mike Tindale - Clan Crusad...

Loton Park 29th September A few of us imp powered boys were out playing at Loton Park nr Shrewsbury on saturday & all had a pretty good day. There were no imp specific classes this weekend so we we all in various classes. Mark Ibbotson in his MK5 Davrian won the Modified Production Roadgoing class w...

Si
Well done mate, you have definately got the hang of these Autosolo's

Eric

Si I'm at MIRA on saturday with Mark Ibbotson & Graham Cashmore in their Davrians along with the Vixen of Joe Tisdale (not met yet). Unfortunately not particually spectator friendly :( , Its a working day there, only Competitors & Mechanics & once in you are there for the day :( . Great, fast place ...

Tim
Sorry to hear about your gearbox, at least it was't a trivial problem that stopped you - you broke it proper like

Gerry
Cheers mate, i'm very pleased with my time

, When's the davrian coming out to play then

Tim - nice to see such a beautiful car being driven hard. :twisted: On your gearbox, it could just be the output spider sheared. You didn't loose any oil, & it towed back up the hill okay so i doubt its anything major. I would try and take the drive shafts off first and see if the output spiders are...

Harewood, what a superb Hillclimb :D :D :D I've just had about my most enjoyable weekend hillclimbing, it was worth all the time you spend (and money) playing in the garage :shock: . A full weekend, with 4 practice runs on Saturday & 1 practice followed by 2 timed runs on the sunday up the longest h...

Tim
It will be great to see you there, I've never done Harewood before & it seems to have got longer since i spectated over 15 years ago

?

Hugh , thats great, as much as like imps, that V10 is the best sound on a course

.

Cheers

Eric

Peter
Practice Saturday & Timed runs Sunday. both pretty full days.

Eric - White Clan No 151

Hi For the more northern based impers, the HSA championship is coming to Harewood (between Harrogate & Leeds) this weekend. Unfortunately only the one Imp, but 2 Clans & 2 G15's as well. This is also a round of the British hillclimb Championship & Greame Wright Jnr is entered in his V10 Predator (or...

Si Looked like a cross between an autotest & a regatta :D . Great to see the clan showing the correct place to put the engine 8) . I see from the photo's that you decided to get the car working before you finished the headlights & respray - best decision - get it roadworthy then tweek it. Cheers Eric

Hi Tha HSA championship was down at Gurston Down last weekend with just Stuart Cairney (Blue Imp)& Me (White Clan) competing. the other Imp powered car there was Andrew Russell in his quick Ginetta G15. Nice set of pictures are here http://public.fotki.com/neilgates/cars/motorsport/2006_season/gurst...

Mark I was considering doing it as it looks a very interesting course, but unfortunately i've got a wedding to go to that weekend. Also it's not that far for me either being one of the rare 'north of birmingham' events. I hope it all goes well & must be great being the first Course Controller at Bar...

Prescott 24th & 25th June This weekend the HSA series is going to play at Prescott nr Cheltenham. This is an apsolutely superb venue with a very impressive entry list. The only players for the HSA this time are Stuart Cairney in his imp, Andrew Till & Me in our Clans & Andy & Penny Coughlan in their...

Pete
It was timed at 154 thou & I reset it at 163 thou (R22) & it did seem better, seemed to run better at high revs especially

, although it was still happy ticking over at 1000 revs

.

Cheers

Eric

Curborough is over & and all survived incident free. They amalgamated all the imp powered cars into one class so seeing as i was the only one on slicks & registered for class 'p' it would have been embarassing not to win the class - but you do get a great steering wheel trophy from the Owen Motor cl...

Keith
Apart from Gerry & me, Graham Cashmore & Mark Ibbo in their Davrians & Micheal Tindale in his Clan are playing this Sunday. Unfortunately the Tills aren't competing this weekend.

Eric

Cheers Pete :D Still not retimed the cam yet, Engine coming out tonight to refit the release bearing spring i noticed sitting in the flywheel teeth - bother :oops: . I'll do it whilst its out of the car. Springs all fitted, steering column fitted etc just the front anti-roll bar, if i get time :lol:...

A few of us are out at Curborough (Litchfield) on Sunday for the Owen club sprint. Always a popular & well run event. Spectators welcome

Eric

Si It would be great to see you at some events :D The distance thing is a problem. The HSA series is supposed to be countrywide but it does favour the south west. The majority of the events are in the Midlands & down the south west side of the country. The furthest north this year is a new one at Ca...

First event of the year has happened - Mira 22nd April. Nice dry day with 3 practice runs & 2 timed runs, no major incidents & was run very smoothly & professionally (as usual). No runners in Class N unfortunately. :( 3 runners in class O (roadgoing imp specials), With Paul Richardson taking the hon...

Gerry I'll be out in the HSA hillclimb & sprint championship this year in a Clan. I've bought Ian Ingrams white race Luff Lightweight shell & converting it to hillclimb spec to compete against the Till's red car. The oily bits from my Rawlson Imp will be fitted to the shell now that the Imp is in ne...

Keith,Gerry & any body else competing

See you Sunday, i'll be down to cheer you on.

Eric

Keith I won't be there unfortunatley, car won't be out until next year :roll: . Well worth going tho', as it's part of the british hillclimb championship. Equivalent to being in a support race on a british touring car event. All the top runners will be there and the HSA have there own class, so ther...

Brain

"whatever you need to get the beast ROLLING again"

we'd rather not

Eric

Keith Unfortunately i won't be at Wiscombe this weekend as the car was rolled at MIRA last saturday. Car is repairable with a gallon of fiberglass & a new roof :roll: . The driver (not me) wasn't hurt but the car definately won't be out for a couple of months. Using our limited crash investigation s...

Keith. Sounds pretty good. Just a couple of things just in case the scrutineer is having a bad day :-) Make sure the throttle springs, if they are twin webers, operate on the spindles, not just the linkages. The standard weber type throttle linkage has the return springs operating on the linkage its...

Chris Unfortunately you can't be in class N (roadgoing imps) in the HSA championship as your engine will be classed as too big. The MSA have an equivalency factor of 1.4 for turbo's so your car will be classed as having a capacity of 1302cc (altho' i tink they are really 928cc so 1299cc). The cc lim...
