Sorry Adam but we are a Jnr household.....

flagwaver · 27 Sep 2003, 18:42 (Ref:732191)

best season i thought for a long time.
New talent comming through, but some of the old timers still there.
What with andy doing well in ETC, you never know Hillclimbing may even get a higher profile.

blackx · 28 Sep 2003, 08:49 (Ref:732613)

We are Mrs Black X but you cannot deny the talent of young Adam....
Took the fight to an established champion and kept a cool head under pressure.........
Congrats to Adam.........

Astonishing performance for a first year in the top class, and what a great year it's been.

Well done, Adam

Very true, however having seen him take two seconds out of the class record at Bouley Bay last year on his very first visit to the place ia knoew he would be there or there about if he could get himself in a big car...watch out for the old man next year...he says that there is no reason for him not to have a go himself now that Adam has actually won it!!!

greenbean · 30 Sep 2003, 18:46 (Ref:735684)

i think adam did a fantastic job at wining the title but i think scott moran is won to watch for next year

Pike · 30 Sep 2003, 19:01 (Ref:735704)

No doubt Adam did well this year - qualified for the 1st run off at Doune when Jnr couldnt in wet conditions that which ultimately won him the title. Still a deserving champion and new hill record holder at Prescott after last weekends Midland round. Roll on next year - few more Gould`s about, Jnr`s car up for sale - who knows what will happen??

Quite right, he's been exceptional this year considering he's had to protect the car as well. I'd be very surprised if he's not up there.

So, fellow marshals, can we tempt a few more of you into the hills next year? Stunning cars - faster accelerating than an F1 - spectacular action, great scenery, friendly marshals and more than a little beer available too, some of it free.

If you've only done circuits I urge you to give this branch of the sport a try, especially if Goodwood is your only hillclimb experience. You may well become hooked

Indeed...the sport at it`s competetive best can exhilerating to say the least...so I echo Woolley`s comments...come take a look and see what we have on offer...only last week at Prescott`s last meeting the Bugatti owners Club put on a buffet dinner/disco free to all marshals and officials and what a great evening it was too even though at one point I was seen on the dance floor "cutting a rug" or two in me best dad dancing style but don`t let that put you off!!!

Matt Dillon · 1 Oct 2003, 17:54 (Ref:736960)

Gizmo though "cutting a rug" was what you do to the thing you wear on your head!!!!!!

Pike · 1 Oct 2003, 17:56 (Ref:736962)

Dad dancing Gizmo - thought there was a handbag involved somewhere!!! As for a rug on his head Matt Dillion - definetly a trade description, more like laminate flooring!!!

Tsk tsk....contrary to popular opinion i don`t have a see through hair cut nor do I comb it with a flannel...AND I certainly dont look like a lobster...remember Jersey Matt?

Something I forgot to say...whilst dancing the night away at Prescott we were still able to keep motorsport in mind...there was a compilation video of action from most of the hills being played all night on a large screen in front of the dance floor!!!

Pike · 1 Oct 2003, 21:26 (Ref:737198)

Yeah dead right Gizmo - trip up Doune with Fraser Madder, Clerk of the course on the big screen, shown what a awesome hill it is. You can see the sun shine off your head tho Gizmo!!

paul.hickman · 2 Oct 2003, 08:44 (Ref:737668)

Woolley - thanks for the 'invitation' for 2004 - my lady and I fully intend to experience the excitment on the hills - that is if you and your colleagues are happy to 'train up' an examining observer and his flag waving partner ('cos I rather think that the Festival of Speed is merely a taster for the real thing...)!

**Woolley** · 2 Oct 2003, 18:23 (Ref:738340)

You'll be very welcome. I recommend doing the camping thing as well if you can.

PM me for Shelsley
Also contact (I'm guessing - sorry if these are wrong)
Gizmo for Prescott
B1ackr0w for Gurston

Matt Dillon · 2 Oct 2003, 20:23 (Ref:738454)

Paul if you've only done Goodwood you will find the "Hills"
great, realy friendly everyone will make you welcome. Dont think the chief marshal at Loton Park comes on here you can always contact me and I'll pass your detauls on.

paul.hickman · 3 Oct 2003, 10:01 (Ref:739039)

Thanks guys! Shall certainly be in contact via PM - as for 'the camping thing' just don't let Sarah know you have even thought of it.... (those of you close enough to Post 61 at le Mans will know exactly what I mean!).

No problem here, I will make sure the CM gets to know of your intent Paul, feel free to pm for any info...that goes for anyone else wishing to visit Prescott. You will find that there is a nucleus of marshals that do all the midland hills so a friendly face at one is a friendly face at all...come along to any one...we will look after you...honest!!!

I will just add to Gizmo's comments that Prescott is very "partner" friendly too!!..... I often attend meetings along with my hubby and both myself and our children are made very welcome..

b1ackcr0w · 5 Oct 2003, 11:49 (Ref:740951)

Hear hear to all that. Top season all round.

PS Last weekend I saw the photos from the August Gurston Party including Crazystu.

Must have been colder than I remember

Mrs Black X you are very kind with your comments, let me put on record the fact that you are equally as welcoming when we visit other venues with your offer to provide food and drink to some of us who emerge out of our tents in need of sustainance and a little encouragement to face the rigours of the day....there...I know it`s gushy but true nevertheless...see you soon hon .....

**Woolley** · 5 Oct 2003, 21:24 (Ref:741328)

Hugs all round then. And a beer for me please. Did we thank the excellent barbecue chef properly by the way. For those of you who have not sampled his fare, CrazyStu is something of a master of the black art. Well it's black when anyone else does it...
