21/22 of September. 10th anniversary this year, they’ve raised £637,000 so far, all volunteers and enthusiasts.
I’m going to be going up the hill twice each day, they’re selling rides for charity.
It’s a wonderfully relaxed event hosting cars and bikes from all eras. McLaren are bringing the Senna back this year, rumour is, it might be quicker than the Atom this time
Please come and support it if you’re free. Trade stands, Porsche, BMW, BAC, Mercedes, all sorts.
Hope to see you there for a beer.

Re: Kop Hill
The afternoon after the day before.
A great weekend overall, met a load of new faces as well as some who have attended for years. I'm still truely amazed at the variety of the cars on show, from a steam powered 1900's chariot to a Ferrari 250 SWB.
I was surprised at the interest in the car again, especially in the company it was keeping, loads of questions about everything from 'if I built it myself, to what the standard boost was'

The runs on the second day were good, a little bit damp in places mind you.

About 5 mins before I was standing there waiting to go up, then those terrifically brave motorcyclists declared it unsafe It was actually more the road back down into the town which has an off camber hairpin, it's a bit unpleasant when washed in chalk and bits of tree etc. Anyway, after an hour of it we restarted.
Not much grip so just made a lot of noise. Passenger got covered in mud but was grinning like a Cheshire cat. The final passenger was one of the events people. Similarly a good time. It's all a bit manky this morning but it's just dirt. Quite a few yesterday left when the weather turned, I didn't see the point, people had come to see the cars and both seats, despite the token gesture with the umbrella were completely full One guy suggested a plug in the base of them
ZZR's were predictable enough and I was getting quite confident, always a good time to pack things in.
The start of the cleanup today. The worst is off and I'll be messing with it more in the week. It'll take a while to get it spotless. Main bits are all ACF'd and treated. Still comes up very well.

So in summary.
Sunburn, dry runs. Monsoon and mud. Bikers hiding in tents. Met Baron Von Grumble, who, by the way, is a really cool bloke as well as Edd China, who was flogging his new book. Already have people asking about passenger rides next year

Re: Kop Hill
Looks like you had some fun, regardless of whether! Do you have the sports exhaust? because it sounds very loud going through the trees.

Yes it’s running the sports exhaust, wouldn’t be without it
