    Attacking the hill at Prescott today

    Here is a link to one of my runs up the Prescott hill today.

    It was a little damp, hence the wheel spin off the line but great fun

    Bu66er it was dry there compared to here, I had the car loaded on trailer with spare wheels etc etc etc, but as it threw it down from about 4.30 am and continued till about 2pm, I thought staying at home was the best option !!!.

    Slightly damp is great round there, you can have some fun sliding about, but you have to treat the 90 left (3/4 way up the hill) with a bit of respect as its greasy under the trees.

    Any spins ????????

    No spins today Mel. It was very wet in the morning apparently, but we arrived at lunchtime and by about two thirty it brightened up nicely and the track dried out, still slippery through the esses though.

    I think it was wetter than 2 years ago Mel, but as Dave said, it dried up late in the afternoon.

    It was nice to meet you and your wife Dave - as we said, we've got a couple of photo's and a short video which I'll post as soon as I can.

    Looking forward to Castle Coombe now!

    Good to meet you to Mike, hope you weren't too disappointed that there was only one Srat but to be honest if it wash't for the fact it was on the way home I probably wouldn't have made it either. So glad we did though as it was good fun.
    Look forward to seeing the pictures and video.

    I'm afraid only a couple of photo's were of any use (taken with a 'phone): -

    I'm just trying to figure out how post the short video - not the best but at the end the car sounds good!!

    Managed to sort out the video: - http://youtu.be/KiJxysObFpE
