Racers facing an uphill task at Loton Park Hill Climb
A hectic weekend is planned for Loton Park Hill Climb, near Shrewsbury, tomorrow and Sunday when both the British and Midland Championship contenders compete in an action-packed full capacity event.
Six-times former British champion Scott Moran of Ludlow will be in attendance with his all-conquering Gould GR61X but has ruled himself out of contention this year by electing only to compete in a few events, while current leader and 2012 champion Trevor Willis, of Worcester, is currently leading the championship pack in his OMS 28 racing car.
Graham Wynn, of Shifnal, is competing in his Gould GR55 with assistance of students from the University of Wolverhampton’s Priorslee Campus.
Other local drivers include Steve Morgan of Whittington in an Empire Evo, Martin Jones of Tenbury Wells in a Force PT, Andy Griffiths of Market Drayton in a Caterham Hayabusa, Andrew Collins of Shrewsbury in a Rover Metro, Tim Cross of Ludlow in a Renault Clio, Sean Toms of Shrewsbury in a Subaru Impreza and Rob Wilson of Ludlow in a Peugeot 205 GTi.
The action starts at 9am on Saturday with practice and qualifying, then at 9.15am on Sunday, with two run-offs for championship points for the 12 fastest cars after the morning and afternoon sessions.
