Had the great fortune to attend the Midland Hill climb Championship Awards bash last night with about 140 others, all dressed-up in posh rags, barely recognised anyone!
We started doing the Championship in 1992 maybe '93, in my old 911, the one I still have.
So many trophies were handed out to winners and people who support this Championship and hillclimbing in general, some needed a lorry to take their stash home.
Some classes have a dedicated award with history behind them and another to keep, the boxes pile up fast.
We have had a great season. The car has been perfect, even the driver operated it well on a few occasions, and seeing as I never won the class once we managed to lift the Class Win for the 4th time in 29 years, all wins with the lovely Lola-Porsche.We have had all these years with great class mates, some I've known for 30 years and all add so much richness to the weekends.
We have done 9 meetings and the fabulous PCGB Porsche day at Prescott.
Seeing as we always turned up the few points we won gathered pace and as several (all) the class registered runners only did a few of the meetings, we won through.
So, Class win #4.
Never 29 years ago did I dream this would happen.
Hard work and a touch of perseverance and a totally supportive wife sure reaps rewards.
I should add another DDK member took home an awful lot of awards, he might tell his story.
I hope you will forgive a few moments of Bragging Rights.
And a few pictures from the year:
