Prescott Hill Climb Open Classic Car Event 9,10 May 2015

[PeterW]

Do you fancy a couple of runs up the hill at Prescott or just give your car an airing, and help a good cause at the same time? I've been in touch with the organisers of this event, and they would be happy to support an NSXCB gathering. They will park all hill runners together in the Paddock and do likewise for statics in the Orchard. It's advertised as being open only to cars older than 1980, but in recognition of the classic status of the NSX, they would be happy to have us. Hill runs aren't timed, which is good news if like me you don't fit in your NSX wearing a helmet! Helmets are not required.

The hill is 1127 yards long, rising over 200 feet through fast and slow corners and a hairpin.

I've made an early 2015 New Year's resolution to get out more in my NSX, especially since it's the 25 year anniversary, so I'll be going. Would be good to get a few more NSXs as well!

I'm in agreement with the New Years resolution, so why not.

I'm not in for the run, just the static display please.

I'll definitely go along and display. I'm a member at Prescott and it's a nice day out especially when the weather is good. Cheers!

Sounds a lot of fun. Count me in, hill run for sure.

Anyone staying over? I'm not a natural camper but could slum it for a night.

[PeterW]

I think the hill runners will be in the paddock and the statics in the orchard

I probably won't stay over at Prescott, but will stay with my brother who lives not too far away and will be taking his Porsche up the hill.

I'm helping the Prescott organisers with material for the programme. I've written the attached article, and they're looking also for the following:

• A period advert of an early model. This could be a contender for the back cover of the programme, which would be nice.
• Some whizzy arty farty photos to go with the article. It would be in keeping with the historical nature of the event if the photos were of an unmodified pop up car, i.e. original five or seven spoke wheels, no body mods, not lowered. Of course I could give them some snaps of my own car, but I'll bet there's some good professional looking pictures out there!

Please let me know if you think you can help.

Thanks
Peter

Very nicely written Peter.

Prescott's fairly local to me, considering joining this year, so count me in. Would be fun to go up the hill too...

BTW - like the write-up - well thought-out.

I've a few half-decent photos of my car (not professional by any stretch, but D-SLR with a little thought behind the composition/aperture/background). Car's not quite standard though - replica Type-R rear spoiler on it...could be disguised from some angles. If you don't get any other offers of photos, let me know and I'll ping a few over to you.

Sounds like fun. Count me in. Is camping permitted there overnight?
