Long term i would like to go down the berg cup route but not sure its the right thing to do as the shell is so mint it would be a shame to cut into the arches.

So i made the long trip south and attended a trackday at Anglesey recently . It was a hell of drive there and back with my Caddy on towing duties but definitely worth the trip. Its a very demanding track compared to my local Knockhill, The afternoon Coastal track setup was my preferred option which seemed to suit the FWD machines a little better.
Much tyre slaying fun was had
The next event for me and probably the last for this year was the penultimate round of the British Hillclimb Championship at Doune. I borrowed some slicks from the B2 class winner this year to get used to them before i bite the bullet next year. Wow they have seen a full season and more and still worked very well on the Golf, it took me a while to get my head round the grip level and push myself that bit further it didn't help that i had a bad vibration coming from the front all weekend which had me dismantle half the suspension to see if my rose joints where goosed but all looked ok and in the end i just had to drive through it. Sat practice saw a 51:46 as fastest time for me which is way off my PB of 50:29. Sun was better as i ended up with a 50:54 still shy of my PB and most annoyingly still not in the 49's. So a lot of work to do suspension wise over the winter and hopefully get into the proper B2 times.
In Good company
Trying a little too hard!
Too much scrubbing going on though!.
