Well one of the local motorclubs im in ran its annual hillclimb over the weekend of may 5th and 6th, and ive never done it nor any other hillclimb before so thought id give it a go.

Saturday i was working, so only entered sunday, did 2 practice runs before it started raining, and on my 2nd run was only 1.1 seconds off the class record having never driven/seen the course before, so was looking good, but then it rained.

Took my gopro but forgot the sucker mount so had to improvise where to put it, and got a vid of my first timed run in the wet, still on slicks and taking it very easy as got a 2 day stage rally next weekend

All in all ill stick to stage rallying to be honest, hillclimbs are far too short for my liking, but i did win my class at least.

Enjoy
 
Oh and sorry theres so much waiting around in first vid, got to wait till the previous car has finished their run
