14N Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 MopedMark and I took a trip to Shelsey Walsh today for a bit of a sdry run for the upcoming March Breakfast Club. We even bumped into Bennett (GT4 Zed) while walking up the hill/course. We did pick up a few tips and pointers that will help the meet run (hopefully) a lot smoother nmext month, but I won't bore you with those here, I'll just share the pics. Considering it was a cold, damp, foggy February morning, the turnout was still rather excellent. I can only imagine how good and big it's going to get in the summer! It was nice to see some exotica actually getting their wheels (and pretty much everything else) dirty and coming out of their winter slumber. Great to see them actually being used, rather than just show pieces or sunny day posing pieces. Anyway, here's my pics.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudman Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Was speaking to my Mum & Dad about about this meet next month and seems we had a guy in Hay-on-Wye called George Keylock and him and his mechanic Brian Dennis used to do up the cars and race them at the Hillclimb at Shelsly Walsh with my Grandfather cheering them on - some heritage. I never knew my Grandfather as he died year before I was born in 1964. A loose family connection ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Great day out and loads of cars to see from classics to modern metal. There was a stupendous GTR with 900whp running flex fuel. (Ethanol/ v power ) it does 0-100 in something like 7secs if my memory is correct. I was interested in the old cars so took some pics of bits I found interesting. Will post up later. The March breakfast club will be awesome if this is anything to go by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopedmark Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 There were 2 Lamborghinis on a cold February morning so respect to them and all the supercar drivers for turning out, it's a very enjoyable morning and you will not believe how steep the hill actually is we will have to be very organised on the day boys n girls because they are, the breakfast is very good as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Nice one Ian! After looking at those pics I'm going to join the Midland club and try and get an entry at some point this season. Oh YES! Do it Andy. Mark, Bennett and I all agreed it would be great to come and watch an actual race event. And what better reason than to come along and cheer one of our own. Taking anything up there flat out takes some remarkably big steel kahuna's, let alone a Zed. Was speaking to my Mum & Dad about about this meet next month and seems we had a guy in Hay-on-Wye called George Keylock and him and his mechanic Brian Dennis used to do up the cars and race them at the Hillclimb at Shelsly Walsh with my Grandfather cheering them on - some heritage. I never knew my Grandfather as he died year before I was born in 1964. A loose family connection ! You do get a very strange, but real sense of nostalgia and heritage when in the pit area and walking up the course. There's no real evidence of 'modern' motor racing and it still appears as it would of many years ago. The health and safety busy bodies haven't prevented you from sitting trackside protected by a bit of rope and a man in a cap. OK, maybe he would be wearing a hi viz jacket.....
