Shelsley Walsh - Practice Qualifying day (RRG 2013)

OK last ones from me

Shelsley is a one way hill with no return road – they run the cars in batches of say 20 and then they all come back down the hill. Great chance to take pictures of fast cars going slowly especially if your panning skills need work like mine do

That 6R4 DAMM thing



Up the top of the hill was rubbish for pics last year but they seem to have had a little mow and chop most of the weeds and tall grass out of the way

Bike engine cars tended to be 600 cc or 1000/1100 cc



Morgan barking



Another bike engine’d wasp



Gas Turbine car – was fairly damn quick of the start when I saw it go earlier in the day



Caterhamwesterfield - 7 “on mission” Obviously gravity isn’t enough and you need brakes



TVR in reliable running shocker



914/6 – long commentary discussion about what it was and if it was a 914 converted to 916 – commentators were quite humorous all day.



Proper weapon but I thought not as fast as the 3 box version



Love the Front



My favourite Aldi (even if it is in fashionable essex white)



Nice green – no slouch



When you run out of space on the rear to add more wings – then add them to the front



And just for giggles I have no idea what class this was running in and I only got one picture of it all day but reminded me of the old Elf sponsored F1 cars from a long while back – count the wheels and you’ll see what I mean – it may off course have left a go-kart track near by and stumbled into the event by accident.....



That’s all folks – If this event is running next year make the effort to go and see what it’s all about – discounted tickets and short distance from Prescott make it an ideal day out and a chance to see what hill climbing is all about.
