Continuing Improvements………. Further to the introduction for the
2008 season of a plastic matrix where the main paddock exits onto the tarmac
road of the main paddock recent work has seen this facility extended across
the bottom of the main paddock to ease the difficulties drivers have
experienced in muddy conditions. |

|
|
……….and how they come about A critical element of such
improvements is of course the band of individuals who volunteer their time
and expertise. Pictured here is such a body of fine gentlemen pausing briefly
from their labours to appreciate their handywork. This particular group have
become known as ‘The Crazy Gang’! |

MARTYN PIKE: CHAMPION 2008 Fireworks were part of the evening’s celebrations
at Wiscombe House as Martyn Pike accepted the trophy and a cheque for £300 as
reward for securing the Bridge Tyres and Wheels Wiscombe Park Hillclimb
Championship. It was on the track that the Feniton driver displayed his
ability and the speed of his immaculately prepared Ford Escort to secure the
series having previously been a runner-up. Pilbeam MP43 pilot Rodney Thorne claimed the
second place, netting the Eric Moxom Memorial Trophy and £100, with his Rover
V8 powered machine finishing less than three quarters of a point in arrears
of the champion. However, the Frampton garage proprietor has secured the
premier position in the other Bridge
Tyres sponsored series, that of the A.S.W.M.C. Taking the final position on the ‘podium’ was
Plymouth’s Neal Coles who took his fleet Sylva Striker to within a single
point of Thorne. Other major prize winners who attended the eveing included
fifth and sixth placed finishers, James Moore and Jonathan Williamson who of
course campaigned a Renault 5 GT Turbo and a Porsche 911 Carrera respectively
in the quest for championship glory. Wellington driver Jonathan Wright took
his Volkswagen Golf GTi to fourth place. |
