The final hill climb of the year for the Auto 66 Club took place last weekend at the famous Oliver's Mount Circuit in Scarborough. With a good entry of 60 competitors and sunshine predicted all day fans were in for a great day of racing.
Starting at 09.00, all riders and drivers had 2 practice runs to familiarise themselves with the circuit. Starting at the end of the paddock, around Farm bends, across the start/finish line for the road races, around Mere Hairpin, up Sheene Rise, left at Grant's and finishing on the service road just behind the esses, this track was enough to challenge the finest hill climbers in the country.
After practice there was a short tea break then racing began at 11.00. Everyone received 6 race runs which was received really well by all the competitors. From 125's to super bikes, sidecars to Morgans, this event had it all. Results:
