Went to my first hill climb today at Doune. Great day and decent weather. It might have been my first hill climb but it wont be my last. The guys driving the cars must have balls of steel. From the spectating the track looked very narrow so i cant imagine what it looked like from in car. John St car was looking very quick looked to be having a good battle with the guy in the black evo. Spoke to a few of the drivers and one of the single seater guys let my mate try it out for size as he is thinking of getting in to hill climbing. The driver of the single seater told us that he feels Doune is the scariest track in the uk. Felt sorry for the guy in the early escort ( mk 1 or mk 2) that caught a bolder and just about ripped off his front wheel before the car ended up on its side. Didnt get any pictures of the action on the day but i am sure stephen and neil got plenty. For anyone thats never been before its on again tomorrow.

Good to see you today, I'm assuming you are back tomorrow, would love to see pics as I spotted you on the way down and you were 'lurking' at all the right places.

Cracking day yesterday, it seemed more like an SIDC meet than anything else! Great to meet all the lads and lassies yesterday, roll on Forrestburn next weekend.

Here's a few polaroids from yesterday, there's more on my flickr account if you fancy a peek. Alternatively, you can view the whole set as a slideshow :cussing:

Click on each if you would prefer to see the larger version.

And I'm back y'all.

CF Card number 1 currently importing into lightroom. Got another full 4gb one to go, then a wee bit on a 2gb too.

Got pictures of John's wee "close" moment which happened right in front of my face so hopefully they turned out decent.

Oh and the weekend was fantastic. Weather couldn't have been better. My mate Paul did pretty well for his first time up the hill. It's a damn scary place.

For the record, or possibly just for Terzo Neil - I was staying over in Doune, not at 4hero's house like he seemed to think. Neil's a nice guy and everything but ....

I was up yesterday with the kids, had a great time, it was my first time and won't be the last.

I was quite dissapointed with the scoobs though, the red one seemed quite slow....

That's John's wee incident earlier. Or at least the first part of it! I'll process the rest of my photos tomorrow properly and get them on flickr, but for now you can all chew that one over.
