Anyone got any good Hill climb clips TR or otherwise..

 

This is an interesting one of what appears to be a BDA Mk2 Escort.

 

I think my TR4a would have melted or upside down in a ditch after about 1/4 mile if I tried to keep up with this!

Awesome stuff.

 

I didn't think a BDA could do that, so I researched a bit on this car. It has a 2.4 Pinto engine fitted with a Warrior 16v twin cam head pushing out over 300bhp. Very nice!

 

I wonder what fuel he uses with a CR of 11.7:1?

Hello. This is my 1st post as a TR4 owner. My dad has relinquished control of the car to me. We are in the Isle of Man and luckily have the Manx Classic event here each year. I currently race a 65 Mustang but next year hopefully will be in the TR4 next year. Couple of you tube clips from this years event

My Dad in his Tr. We have a new engine to build for this year. (Need advice on engine builders)

Probably a swear word on here but this is me in the Mustang

 

Thanks

Wlcome and thanks for posting Steve.

 

You can see why the Brownes and Nick Smith rate this event.

 

Perhaps we'll see you on the tracks and hills of the mainland?

PS perhaps you were a tad faster in the Mustand than the old man was in the four?

Hi Kev

 

Thanks for the welcome.

It would be great to race next year. I have the Mustang ready for the CCSC swinging 60's but need to get an engine built for the TR. We managed to get an engine that had been dry stored for 30years with only 23,000 on it. Need advice on good engine builders

We are at Oulton next weekend for the gold cup (spectating) so was planning on picking peoples brains on spec & set up

 

Cheers. Steve

Wow, the Manx Classic is on again! I first heard about it the year before it folded, and assumed it was extinct.

I'll try to come across as I live near Heysham.

Does the Steam Packet Co. gouge the fares at Classic time like they do for the TT?

You would be welcome in the CSCC Swinging 60s series. Another Mustang competes with us together with a couple of Chevrolet Corvettes and Camaros although they are rarely all out at the same meeting. A good mix of cars, Triumph TRs, MG Midgets, Bs & Cs, Austin Healey Sprites & 3000s, TVRs, Morgans, Jags, Ginettas, Turner, Lotus 7s & Elans and Marcos, etc. Usually full grids and generally good clean racing.

 

Hope to see you next season.

Hi Dave. Think the other Mustang is Wayne's. He helped me out on the tech side during the build. Only need to sort a couple of things, silencers, trailer. Worrying thing for me is passing scrutenieering as it would be an expensive trip otherwise. Going to the Gold Cup this weekend so planning on bending a few ears..

With any luck will bring the Stang and the TR4 next year and alternate at events...

Cheers

Yes it was Wayne's Mustang that I was referring to.

You could come over for the CSCC Swinging 60s race at Oulton Park on Sat 27th Sept and speak to the Club officials about car eligibility while you're there.

I'll be racing my Navy blue TR6. If you do visit, come over and say hello.

And now I've managed to master the free GoPro editor I've upload a couple of runs to the sprint and hillclimb facebook site (as I've not yet worked out how to post them on the sprint and hillclimbs youtube site yet).
