East Coast Customs Spelga Pass Hillclimb
Posted: August 16, 2010 2:21 PM
Rathfriland Motor Club Ltd has released details of the forthcoming East Coast Customs sponsored Spelga Pass Championship Hillclimb to be held on Saturday 28th August.
The historic venue will again play host to the sound of racing engines when the regular competitors from the Millers Motor Sport Oils NI Hillclimb Championship join with the local tarmac aces to see who will be crowned ‘King of the Hill’
The venue is nestled in one of the most picturesque places within the proposed Mourne National Park overlooking the village of Hilltown. The 1250 metre course starts its climb from Glenveagh Bridge, through the famous ‘S’bends and then opens out towards the right, left kinks before the finish line at the Spelga Reservoir.
Last year’s event was won by Lawrence Gibson in the Metro 6R4 Rallycross car.
Many of the front-runners from the Hillclimb fraternity are expected to compete, bringing a mix of all types of car, from modern super cars to the historic and vintage vehicles from years gone by.
Last year’s event attracted a healthy 50 + entry list and it is hoped that the 2010 event will be equally popular, when entries finally close on Wednesday 25th August.
Event details will be available on the club website.
Also returning for 2010 is the popular Newry Motor Works ‘Time Attack’ Trophy which will be awarded, along with £100 cash, to the fastest non Championship Rally Car on the final results.
The 2009 ‘Time Attack’ trophy winner was Wesley Patterson who generously donated the £100 winnings to the Club’s nominated Charity, Action MS.
Roads close at 9 am and practise is scheduled to start shortly after with timed runs to commence around lunchtime.
Please note that roads will be closed 500 metres southwest from its junction with the B180 Bryansford Road, through the B27 Kilkeel Road to its junction with the C312 Slievenaman Road. Diversion signs will be in operation.
Spectator parking will be available on the road at Kinahalla Youth Hostel, just before the Paddock area.
If anyone would like to assist the club to run the event please contact 07905537528 / +447905537528
A free hot meal will be provided for all who marshal on the day.
