...and its worth going just to see Mike Endean's 700bhp Puma Gould !

I wish i was going

Normally do most off the championship. But driving lessons are costing a fortune!

Anyone know when Graeme Wright is running the Electric thing?

Oh and i do believe the Puma has over 800BHP?

Others to watch out for are Keith Edwards in the Quattro, Eynon price in his Force and Jos Goodyear is fantastic to watch.

What's happened to the S4 V8 this season? Anyone know?

I went yesterday, good day it was.

Both those Quattros sound amazing, although the red one went home after one run. But you really get the impression they could stretch their legs so much more than a hillclimb will allow! No sign of the S4 (presume you're talking about the v8 twin turbo one?).

I'll have some pics up this evening.

Yeah, the car wasn't at Loton either.

I dont think Roger Banks is running the S4 this season, a real shame as it was a monster. I have some vids on youtube of it. His website is www.audihillclimb.net but it hasnt been updated for quite a while. Last time i saw him he said he was running 600bhp on a real low boost setting. It was unreliable however last year.

The entry list at Loton the other week was 60 cars short on last year, most notably the saloon/sports cars, the organisers stating that the credit crunch is to blame, yet again. A real shame.

I was speaking to Mike Endean about his Puma, he estimated around 700bhp or if anything a little less.

Keith Edwards quattro has 600-650bhp and Mick Harriman's white car, which is a rebuild of the ex-Keith Murray silver quattro that was demolishing hill climbs a few years ago, is packing around 500bhp.

A pity that Ken Simms doesnt compete anymore in the ex-Will Gollop Metro 6R4 twin-turbo, did you see it, it was awesome !

The Single seater line up seems as strong as ever.

Well, over the last few years i've been following it.

Good photos, nice one.

Is that Graeme Wight Jnr in the 3rd photo? I heard he was campaigning the V10 Predator again this year and not the electric thingy.

Cheers.
