The Ferrari Paddock in the sun

It was a foggy overcast Yorkshire morning, for the start of the 2^nd round of the Pirelli Ferrari Hillclimb Championship. With celebrations of our King’s coronation overshadowed by Tony Attwoods birthday!

Numbers were down today due to several competitors rubbing shoulders with royalty, such as John Goodwin.  However, in attendance was Ewan Attwood and dad Tony Attwood, Paulin Goodwin, Steve Nunney, Martin Jones, Brian Jackson and Dave Snelson.

A big surprise of the day was legendary Johnny Kennedy didn’t manage to get an entry, with Johnny being the favourite to take the Championship this year!

The first runs started off quiet damp and people were hesitant due to the track being wet.

Steve Nunney showed continued improvement throughout the day as did Brian Jackson, and Paulin just shy of her best times.

Brain Jackson drove extremely well and came second, earning the maximum 20 points, Pauline came in third and Dave Snelson came first on scratch.

It was nice to see Steve Burns, the championship coordinator, who’s company and expertise in motor sport was appreciated and enjoyed by all.

Celebrations continued well in to the evening, with glasses raised for Tony’s birthday and the King’s Coronation, with Steve Burns presiding over the presentations.

Unbeknown to Steve his wife was enjoying a spot of online shopping with his gold card.

Tony relaxed with some pre race meditation.

Princes Pauline commandeered Dave Snelson’s tent to for most of the day.

Happy 75th Birthday Tony!
