THIS weekend will see the first 2005 visit of the British Hill Climb Championship to Shelsley Walsh.
With reigning champion Adam Fleetwood away from the scene, it has been Martin Groves in his brand new Gould GR55 3.5L who has sped to the top of the title chase with seven victories from the first ten rounds.
It will be very interesting indeed to see how Groves goes at Shelsley in a similar car to that which holds the outright record on the hill in the hands of Fleetwood.
Willem Toet won the opening meetings of the year at Loton, but suffered a zero score from Gurston Down last weekend. The mechanical traction of the leading Pilbeam is stunning off the line.
The fastest cars will again be looking to fill the Top 12 run-off where they vie for points towards the National Championship.
The Midland Hill Climb Championship will also resume battle after the opening round back in April.
Pitting class winners against class winners, the title always comes down to the final shoot out in September.
Entry is £6 on Saturday and £12 on Sunday.
Shelsley Walsh is 10 miles West of Worcester, just follow the yellow AA signs.
