Barbon Hill Climb - 22nd June 2024
Yes folks, it's a month earlier this year! to try & get better weather, apparently.
Anyway, this could be a good 'un!
'More than 1 TT winner will be on track' is what they have said!!!
John McGuinness is listed in the entries, along with Storm Stacey (BSB runner)
& Andy Hornby & the Black Eagle MV Agusta racing team (they've fielded Dean Harrison, Lee Johnston & Michael Dunlop in the Classic TT in years gone by)
+ of course, myself & the Famous Mr. Led!  Confused

Just a few weeks ago the event was in danger of being cancelled, due to low entries, but it's looking good now, good forecast & resurfaced track!!

I believe it's £10 adults, free for children. Practice from 09.30, racing from around 12 'til about 16.00/16.30,  the last hour or so is usually a 'shootout' for the fastest competitors (not us then!)
I must admit, considering just a couple of weeks ago it wasn't going to happen, there hasn't been much publicity to try & gee people up & attract a lot of spectators!
It's a round of the 2024 National Hill Climb Championship .
