Hi All,
just a quick note to report on Spridget motorsport.
I took up the local Spridget group's invitation to visit the Gurston Down Hillclimb last weekend [The website link in previous discussion lists was handy for navigation directions & background info] and managed to catch class 1 (MG cars) in action.
I was impressed with the whole thing: a 'proper' motosport venue under an hour from home, and having only been to vintage hillclimbs before (Austin 7, Riley, M-type midget etc), amazed at the 'modern' cars and technology involved.
The MG community ranged from MGF's through Metro Turbos to B V8's and works 'C' were particuarly good value, but more importantly the class had a good number of Spridgets keeping the side up, from the 998 Frogeye to some later midgets looking good on 3 wheels round the steeper corners.
It has given me renewed energy to continue with the Frogeye restoration-and maybe a crack at motorsport...
I'll be back for more technical advice soon.
