SHELSLEY RECORD GOES TO WIGHT Jnr ONCE MORE

12 months after the first ever sub 25 second run at Shelsley Walsh in Worcestershire by Graeme Wight Jnr, the reigning British Hill Climb Champion again reduced the outright mark to 24.56 seconds today from the 24.85 that he set last June.

Rain affected the opening class runs meaning the run off times before lunch were slightly dulled, but the bravery of Tim Mason sped through to take his second win of the year ahead of Wight Jnr, but once the sun reappeared, track conditions were favourable once more to the quickest cars. Wight Jnr took the record down from 24.85 in the second class runs before reaching 24.56 on the last run of the day. Adam Fleetwoods first drive on the hill in his new Gould 3.3 V8 saw him too gain a bonus point for beating the original record from the start of the meeting by being 2nd BTD with 24.84. Stunning material from the pair of them!

Many thanks to John Charters who again has taken some stunning photographs of the meeting. He has many more if you wish to contact him ([email protected])
