The handicap results are now available for the historic classes for the June and August 2011 Hill Climb events. Due to the performance differences between the various cars the club runs the historic classes on a handicap system. Each competitor nominates a target time before the timed runs and hopes for the best! This gives each competitor the same chance of winning the class with each driver hoping the weather stays the same as when they chose their target time. The entrant with the time closest to their target wins the class.
Often the competition is very close with entrants sometimes even achieving the exact target time chosen. The Scottish word ‘pauchle‘ springs to mind but I’m sure that is unfair. The mystery is revealed at last!
