11 August 2017

PREVIEW   GARRON POINT HILLCLIMB    SATURDAY 12/08/17

 

 

Round 7 of the ANICC Millers Oils N.I. Hillclimb Championship takes place this weekend at Garron Point, located on the Antrim Coast Road between Carnlough and Waterfoot.

 

This challenging and twisty hill produces fast and furious competition between competitors and offers many excellent spectator vantage points on the course.

 

An excellent entry of nearly 70 cars will take part ranging from standard roadgoing cars through modified racing saloons, rally cars up to specialised single seater racing cars.

 

Favourites for the event include current N.I. Hillclimb Champion Chris Houston, former multiple Champion Graham Thompson and Richard McGimpsey all driving rapid single seater hillclimb racing cars.   Heading the saloon challenge will be David Francis’ Escort Cosworth and the Gage family in their lightweight Maguire Minis.

 

Practice will commence at 10.00 with timed runs from 1.00pm on Saturday
