This not much more than 3 metre wide strip of asphalt progression rising some 70 plus metres and 750 meters in length kept competitors’ concentration on the limit all day. The several classes included Periods 2,3, 4, 5 and 6 in Historic Solo’s, Super Moto S1, Super Moto S2, Super Moto S3, Moderns, Sidecars, Quads and Scooters for both male and female competitors, beginning promptly at 9am.

A close second at 38.96 was Club President Clayton Tilbrook on his 1981 Yamaha RDLC 250.
