Grover To Oz
I read with interest that Martin Groves is going to contest a hillclimb in Australia in November....
It takes place using part of the famous Bathurst course running in a clockwise direction from Conrod Straight to Skyline... Be interesting to see how Britains No1 fairs against some no doubt very talented Australian hillclimbers.. |

Wow, great news That is a big event, but if he's taking his Gould he'll win it easily, IMO.

Sure it is an XB and not a Judd?
A friend just told me it already has an Australian record under its belt. |

License to thrill!
A deal has been done to allow Martin to participate in the event. I understand he will be issued with a temporary Australian license but will not be elligible for the Australian Championship; mind you his co-driver should be a shoe in for the title on this short English style course!

I wish,
I wish I was going, and if anyone wants to sponsor me I still could.
David Gould is travelling out with one of our onboard setups. So if they bolt it on correctly and press the button then we may get to see it. Richard |

Use Groves velcro
Imported by, supplied by, good guy.
Try Groves Velco, a brand that's sure to stick. [Have I gone to far..] |

It's this weekend coming
The Australian Hillclimb championship.
see the updates on www.hillclimbracing.com and www.2T4T.co.uk Will the Gould GR55 of Andrew Howell, co-driven by Martin Groves do well? Follow the hillclimbracing.com site for the updates, we will only add something later. Now that Scenalyzer has provided a solution to cutting up clips we are working hard on other things. And fireworks and cider..... Will they mix? Go on Gouldy...... |
