Brooklands Test Hill Centenary Celebrations Sunday 22nd March 2009

[Karl]

With the test hill, did you all start with peddle or electric power ?
That 1 - in - 4 bit looks horrible ( might try it in a car next year ), so to get close to it must have taken some effort 

...ordinarily you are not permitted a "run up" , the rules of the Hill are that it is a standing start only.

After Martins pleading on our behalf, I think the Brooklands staff took pity on us and allowed us a running start - using everything you could manage 

It was really hard work, even my 24v didn't get to the top - but it might have if someone fitter/lighter was using it....

.....plus correctly fitting the quick release battery clamp on my left hand battery would have helped

Thanks for sorting that out for me, most appreciated mate 

....nice to give those that couldn't make it a taster of what the day was like 

[Umpa]

My pleasure, I guess it's my way of giving somthing back to the site that has given me so much help and enjoyment.

I will do a longer version on DVD for you and post it back with the drivers if you like.

I thought it best to do that one first and I'll work on the other this week.

It looks like you all had a great day!
Hopefully I can get down to another meet soon.

The camera got passed a round quite a bit on the day, so there's no telling who filmed what , other than Kurt's brother (also called Karl) who filmed most of the last part - best cameraman of the day

Umpa wasn't given the best of raw materials, so a good effort on his part 

[Karl]

Just re-watched the footage of this , a real shame we didn't have "challenger" available for this run - but then it was this event that was the inspiration for building challenger in the first place 

Bring on the TARDIS ...
