A new Champ

blackx · 25 Aug 2008, 08:55 (Ref:2274872)

For those of you who dont know yesterday Scott Moran clinched his first (and hopefully not his last) British Hillclimb Championship at Gurston Down..

Hearty congratulations go out to him and Team Moran for a stunning season (and it hasn't finished yet)....

Also a big pat on the back for Martin Groves who despite a terrible season with regards reliability still managed to keep banging the all important times in and keep us all on the edge of our seats....

Lets hope next years title race is as thrilling with perhaps one or two more joining the title hunt

And what a fabulous win it was...

Emotion was running high and I am very happy that I was at Gurston instead of the scheduled madonna trip.

Well done to Scott and team Moran for all the hard work... the celebrations last night were fab aswell, thank you to all xxx

Many congratulations to Scott, commiserations to Martin. Another cracking season, and it was great to be present at the champion's party last night.

Champions party was fab... still don't think it had quite sunk in when we left this morning xxx

After speaking with Scotty on the phone yesterday ,he said it was a shame we weren't there as well ,but I think a few drinkies at the Marshals Pound at Prescott September 6th/7th are on the cards

Well done Scotty, nice job young man. Hopefully will get the chance to congratulate him in person in the next few days when I'm back at work.

Well done Scotty - many congratulations. Commiserations Martin, put up a good fight for the championship.

Looking forward to next year's championship already!

Well done Scott and commiserations Martin.

Maybe Scotty could come to Bathurst, and see if he could win the Australian Championships as well!
Too many fast cars and drivers here....not a good idea! Lol!

Yeh right

Better still......

Why not get your champ to come over here and see if they can compete ......

Its like fishing ...I set the bait and yes I caught a "pommie"
You must be able to send an outfit to beat the "colonials" .....oh that right you did but a Gould and Martin was not fast enough!
I am smiling!

That will be the medication kicking in

Well of course the Ozzies that come to play in our summer season are making such a name for themselves over here.
Will be making the way back covered in garlands and trunks full of silverware.

Yeah, right.

**Woolley** · 15 Sep 2008, 22:26 (Ref:2291320)

To be fair, I think we only have one Aussie and he's in a Cooper 500. If he won in that, he'd be very special indeed!

b1ackcr0w · 16 Sep 2008, 09:51 (Ref:2291620)

What about Willem Toet?

Not a regular entrant and only part Australian but did do rather well when he was regular

**Woolley** · 16 Sep 2008, 12:42 (Ref:2291766)

Willem in a 500? Should be entertaining...

I thought that was Austrian?

He is Dutch/Australian

I think your confusion (aside from the obvious

) comes from the fact he works and lives in Switzerland

robert77 · 17 Sep 2008, 16:44 (Ref:2292654)

Ahh confusion, so much of it about these days...

I don't know where it all started.

Well besides Terry 'Misfire' Wright we do have Scott Taylor who comes over for the summer although in all fairness he does do mainly circuits with the old timer brigade.

twisted · 26 Sep 2008, 12:31 (Ref:2298348)

I do hope Martin will return to Bathurst in October and could bring Scotty!
We love to see the worlds best perform againt the local boy's!
