Gonna be competing at Gurston on 8/9 if anyone is interested in a great day out.  Lots to see, from Mini's to very fast single seaters.  Even have a couple of free tickets up for grabs if you are quick.

Hoping to set my fastest time of the year and not bend any exhaust valves in the process.

This is the last meeting of the year so come along and say hello... <img src="http://www.zclub.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I was at the hillclimb as a marshal this year due to a minor injury stopping me competing and have to say that ken did a first class job of upholding the Z name in the face of some fierce competition. Putting out of his mind a heart stopping moment(due to a technical problem I understand!!!!!!&#33<img src="http://www.zclub.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> in practice, he pressed on to produce an incredibly brave and hard drive to finish the season with a personal best time showing the rest of the class that he is going to be a force to be reckoned with again next year.I take my hat of to you ken, you are out there doing it in a very nice example of the 240Z that should easily walk away with trophies at a show and in my view had the car been at Billing should have got the best prepared race car trophy because it is actually being used in competition.As a final comment when I started hillclimbing I was given a great deal of support from various members of the club, for which i was and still am very grateful. It means a great deal to anyone competing to have that support so how about it next season. It may not be as glamerous as circuit racing but it is still a hell of a buzz to see the Z competing with and beating some very fast sports cars. Have a local group trip to a hillclimb next year, I even managed to get the old Thames Valley group a convoy run up the hill to start the meeting one year. Those that were there will tell you what it was like. Once again, good on you ken it was a brilliant way to end the season
