Many in the Hillclimb circus will argue the value is poor, the number of runs/day/event is very poor and a great number want a minimum of 8 or more in a day.
You can do that if you restrict the entry you take/event. Less in the paddock means more track time, BUT the cost of entry will increase to cover fixed costs, Landlord rent, toilets etc etc.

Many hillclimb events are well over subscribed, some as much as 200%, so a lot of disapointed runners probably not in a Championship.

We all choose our way forward, the types of sports we do, and i like the whole hillclimb 'thing' but it is getting hard to justify.

Also, so many hill events clash with other car related events which i would like to do, more of an irritant than anything else, but another factor.

Brakes all flushed through this morning with DOT 4.
Not in the mood to do the 1973 911!

Nice atmosphere at hillclimb venues too, Prescott here:
