I really don't think you need to worry too much about inexperienced people having an off, the first time I every drove Shelsley it was terrifying I braked into Kennel and Crossing (when you you're racing you never brake through there just lift) and about 80 yards too early for Bottom Ess and kinda coasted through LOL.
When you're at Prescott it feels alot more open and you feel you can push the car early on with very little experience, Shelsley is increditabley claustrophobia and I can't see people pushing it, but then again it only takes one I suppose.

I have never seen you go up the hill at Prescott my view was obscured by the clouds of tyre smoke from your start.

Here's a couple of inboard video from Practice on the Saturday for you then lol

You're turning into Bottom S too early. Apart from that nice run.

I was commenting more about keeping it out of the scenery

Here's my last and fastest run on Sunday (shot by my Sister from just before Bottom Ess), don't think I can go much quicker through Kennel.

Cars - MOT, RFL, Insurance - Mandatory (bring your documents with you for sign on)

What is the deal with foreign registered cars? I'll hopefully bring something worthy of going up the hill, which is likely to be registered in Republic of Ireland (where I will be living at the time) - pre-1980 cars require no NCT (Irish MOT equivalent) so if it's pre-1980, it won't have one - will this be an issue? It will have tax & insurance regardless.

Ok so I've had the first batch of questions answered, this thread is providing me with batch two.

Max number of cars in a batch 30/35

Only one passenger per car

No age or height restriction on passengers but they reserve the right to review this on the day.

Seat belts of fitted are to be worn.

Hoping the next round of questions get a slightly quicker reply

Yup that's me at Prescott looks like the 2012 season.
I'm a guest car at Retro Rides Gathering, I believe they will be raffling out passenger rides or something like that??

So, I could take my kids up as passengers then (one at a time) ?!

But IIRC it was said earlier that helmets must be worn?

Approximately how many runs would each car get? Having two kids, I'd need two runs

Sorry missed your reply

Yes one at a time

Helmets Mandatory

You will get at least two runs

Hey richardbrant, I didn't realise you were a member here, or a Silhillian for that matter!

Do you remember this little moment at Prescott last year? Should we expect more of the same at RRG?

I had no idea there was footage of this sideways shenanigans, is there a full video somewhere?
There isn't a great deal of room to do this kind of thing at Shelsley though, I would end up picking up bits of the Cossie from the track lol.
Although I will try and keep the crowds entertained.

Has it been decided yet:

1:- How booking/arranging a run/s will happen for this?

2:- Cost of going up said hill?

[HoTWire]

Yeah I'm going to do a website update today with this information

[bstardchild]

Link to Davids info web page

retroridesgathering.com/rwyb-hillclimb/

Regarding 3 Runs - This is time and attendee behavior conditioned

If we have time and we think we will all cars should get at least 3 runs morning and afternoon sessions (which are the same length of time)

If people stop on the hill (for whatever reason) then it's going to eat into the "Hill Time" for all - just felt I needed to point that out

I remember it well!!!!

I was sat in the Rescue Unit in the Esses thinking you'd be paying us a visit!! 

[richardbrant]

Think I was rather lucky not to have a big off there.
