JCB Photography was at Harewood Hill over the weekend of 3rd and 4th August for the Yorkshire Speed and Montague Burton Hillclimb along with competitors of the Harewood Speed Hillclimb Championship, who were finally back on the famous Yorkshire Hill. Most of the regular competitors had not been at Harewood since early June.
This
means
that
this month and next month will see six rounds of the Harewood
Championship taking place in the next eight
weekends.
All are double headers, one
round on each of the days.
Yorkshire Speed
Hillclimb
Joining the Harewood regulars were a large group of competitors from the Northampton Motorsport Caterham and Lotus 7 Club Speed Championship.
With just the two
practice runs completed before the lunch break followed by three
timed runs in the afternoon.
Saturday’s weather
turned out to be the better of the two days with sunny intervals and
also the better of the track conditions. With three new class records
being set.

Montague Burton Hillclimb
With
some drizzle to start the first practice run, making the track very
greasy for the first of the Sunday morning competitors. The grey
clouds would stay with us for the rest of the day, however it did
stay dry and was a little chilly for August with a slight breeze.
This breeze would keep temperatures down both on and off the track.
One class record was broken, 1C for Road Cars Production over 2000cc
and 2 wheel drive, by Richard Andrews driving the Porsche 718 GT4.
A timed run
as well as the two Practice runs were completed before a late lunch
break with two further timed runs before the end of the meeting.
In the Harewood Championship Adam Riley still leads the Championship
from Simon Green driving his Westfield Duratec with Henry Moorhouse
driving the Honda powered Westfield in third place.
The Fast
Time
of the Day
was again
set by David Tatham driving the DJ Firehawk with Stephen Owen
driving his OMS 28, and Jake
Bellerby in third, driving his OMS 2000M.
After the
Montague Burton Hillclimb David Tatham driving the DJ Firehawk, now
leads the Harewood FTD Award
Series from Simon Green driving his Westfield Duratec in joint
second place with Stephen Owen driving his OMS 28 and Dave Banner
driving the Westfield Megabusa.
