... will there be someone there to catch bits of my gearbox? The supercharger is taking no prisoners this year. I think the idea of a nappy under the box is appealing You pack it, I'll fit it. Now... hillclimb monsters man says that all his slots are full as he thought I was on the roll call last year... so do I go for a morning or afternoon session to get maximum death or glory exposure to the masses... (you never know... nothing may fail...). Contemplating bringing the LiquiMoly grid girls with me as well. Flying back in from Mexico especially for this the day before, looking forward to the drive up then a day at the hill with my beloved machine.

Any word on when we will have confirmation of track time? Just sorting the last bits on the system we're using and then it'll all be ready to send emails and stuff. Should be finished and live tomorrow. Then bstardchild can run through and quickly filter/sort cars and we can get messages out etc.

Still open so please apply We have a process that works in terms of selection Guideline 1 - The Noah rule - we try to ensure no more than two of any model Guideline 2 - Different is good so we aren't just looking for performance - great to see quick cars but slow can be as much fun Guideline 3 - If you've been before we try to select those that haven't first and then fill up with those that have Guideline 4 - Although we apply a pre 99 criteria we do make the odd exception for different or interesting
