I've been racking my brains and then it just came to me - Mrs Paterson

Ok time to eat my words - it turns out that Judith kept her maiden name when she married Mark

I've been racking my brains and then it just came to me - Mrs Paterson

Have you asked Colin?

Thanks Speed over the finish line is 78mph on the first run which is about 7500 in 4th (according to the spreadsheet I use) with my short gearing. I dont get time to look at the rev counter but the 1st shift light on the dash top is programmed to come on at 8000 with the other 3 following in 400rpm ...

A couple of in-Imp videos from the Curborough event a couple of weeks back. Bounced over the kerbs a bit at the Molehill in the first timed run which was just over half a second slower than in the run-off where I almost fumbled the gear change at the hairpin....

Next Sunday 9th October sees the final round of this year's REIS sponsored HSA championship. Both Graham Cashmore and Mark Paterson have done well this year and they are currently tied in 4th place in the overall standings as well as for the class N win. Mark has competed in 10 rounds in his G15 and...

If you've ever been to Gurston Down you will know just how steep the final climb is up Burke's Rise from Ashes to the finish line. Last weekend saw the HSA visit Gurston and 'Pimpdriver' Eric clocked 95mph over the finish line in the 998 turbo Clan!! To put that in perspective on a good day when I'v...

Some in car footage from Gurston last weekend (non - HSA). Not a particularly quick run but good fun nonetheless..... This coming Sunday 24th is the HSA championship round at Loton Park where the runners include Eric Morrey in action with the Clan along with Mark Paterson in his G15 and Stuart Cairn...

The HSA championship kicks off this Sunday with a two lap event at Curborough. For 2009 there are 6 competitors registered for HSA class N, three of which will be at Curborough. The entry was restricted to 80 cars due to the longer course being used and apparently was heavily oversubscribed. There a...

Round 15 of the HSA championship is at Gurston Down this Sunday with practice on Saturday. There are 4 Imp engined cars competing: in program order Andy Russell G15 Stuart Cairney Imp Eric Morrey Clan Joe Tisdall Vixen This meeting is also a round of the British Hillclimb Championship so most of the...

The HSA round at Prescott this weekend is a multi-championship meeting and hence there are 9 Imp engined vehicles entered. Well worth a look and there are also some of the quickest single seaters in action such as Chris Merrick, Deryk Young and Jos Goodyear with their 4 litre Judd engined Goulds whi...

Regs and entry form for 2008 now available at: http://www.hillclimbandsprint.co.uk Imp classes are as for last year: (N) Modified Roadgoing Hillman Imps and Model Variants and Imp Engined Specialist Roadgoing Cars (e.g. Ginetta, Clan etc.) up to 1040cc. (P) Non Roadgoing Imp Engined Vehicles. Scorin...

Well done to Davrian pilot Mark Ibbotson who won class N in 2007 and also came 4th overall in the overall standings (102 contenders). Eric Morrey took the class P honours with some very quick times in the Clan; lack of opposition within the class restricting his overall position due to the scoring s...

The HSA round at Prescott this coming Sunday 22/7 has been postponed until September due to the weather (exact date to be advised)

Meanwhile I came across a nice pic of Tim's G15 at Harewood:

Well done Si.

Looks as though the guy in the Nova tried a bit too hard trying to beat you....

Thanks Gerry, look foward to meeting you sometime - good luck with the G15.

2007 HSA championship regs now available at

http://www.hillclimbandsprint.co.uk/regs.htm

Hi Tbs and edis is ok, so long as you dont have forced induction (as then the equivalence formula of 1.4 applies and the 998 effectively becomes 1397). Good luck with the project. Although not yet confirmed, for 2007 the HSA are proposing for class N to be an amalgamation of up to 1040 modified road...

Just occurred to me that it costs more to spectate at the British GP than compete at Curborough :shock: Not only that, if the bloke in front of you spoils your run by 'losing control' of his car at 10mph, almost hitting the barrier before stalling, at Curborough they would show the red flags and let...

If you have some particular events in mind I would be inclined to contact the organising club and ask them to send you the regs rather than wait to see if they arrive. I've had most of the regs for this year's events and the majority of entry lists are already open so best not to delay I would sugge...

Well hopefully we'll meet up sooner or later. Interesting to note that there were 4 Imps at Prescott last weekend
Ian and Nigel Moss both with 1200 Imps, Richard Bourne and David Oakes with their 998s (Stiletto and Chamois repectively).

Despite the forecasts the Wiscombe Park HSA round remained dry last weekend. Slick organisation by Woolbridge Motor Club ensured that the event ran smoothly and there was even time for an extra 'fun run' at the end of the afternoon with competitors contributing a pound each towards the local church ...
