Doune Speed Hill Climb 20th June

[phantom]

Yes me again, here I go again. Doune hill climb, near Stirling, is on 20th June, its a national event so much bigger, faster and nearer to the cars than Fintray. Its still a field to park in, but its flat.
So is anyone up for a little convoy to it. It costs a couple of quid to get in, I will see if I can get any freebie tickets as I have a freind in Englandshire who comes up to race.
Proberbly start in Dundee and make our way down.

[Big Gordy]

Got reply on times, Timed racing starts at 11am and finishes around 4-5pm. Tickets cost £6 per adult which is more than I thought. Hmmmm!

I'm afraid it looks as though I will have to pull out of this one :(.
After my wee trip to the Lakes yesterday I had to promise Tricia that we'd do whatever she wanted next weekend.

[broken_brian]

aawwwwww poo i need to pull out of this one too :(

and i really wanted to go as well :(
will there be another event there anytime soon:question:

[Duncan Stewart]

Hi Duncan, sorry for not getting back on this one. Life is quite hectic for me just now. I was thinking of leaving from Dundee, assuming anyone else is meeting up, usual place, at 11am ish which would get us there about 12ish.
I could meet you at Gurdbridge at 10.30am, papermill. How does that sound.:question: If you want to get there earlier thats fine by me.

[seany]

can't make it, can some one get photo's for the site?

[Burple]

Hmmm... I might be back thru to Dundee in time to leave from there in the morning...
If not, I'll hopefully see you guys there!!

So - still up for the social meet?
I was thinking about The Hungry Horse beside the Airport..
We could meet there after the Hillclimb, and anyone else who wants to come along can meet us there - say about 7? - go for a wee cruise and some photos, then back there for some food and a blether?
how does this sound?

[Duncan Stewart]

Times fine - see you at 10:30 at Gaurdbridge papermill Chris or if it is only the two of us going it would be quicker & more fun going cross country - could meet at Lundin Links?
Up for the social meet after as well

Looks like just us two, name the place in Lunden Links and time and I'll meet you there.:)

A couple of comments on this thread - there's another national status event at Doune in September (18th & 19th) - the £6 each gets you up the hill to spectate, it's free to park and wander round the paddock - for the national events it's practice runs on the Saturday, one more practice on the Sunday morning (about 9 ish) then the Competition Runs from 11am. (So this applies this coming weekend also.)

Hope this solves some of your queries!

(I know all this 'cos I used to compete there, just in case anyone's wondering.....)

[Duncan Stewart]

Murky motors? (mercury motors) that sells the old MGs & other cars? (which might be considered to be in lower Largo :clown:) about 11am OK?

** Update to the Dundee Social meet if anyone's intersted in coming along! :D **

Great day out at the Doune Hillclimb.
Loads of action and excellent spectator access.
4 Mini Cooper challenge cars in one class.
A very quick 1400cc mini in the 1400 - 1800 saloons and a very tasty 998cc Mk1 Cooper in the classics but it blew it's engine up.
