Prescott was an epic weekend to end the season

All the pre-event words and publicity was about the three drivers who could win the British Hillclimb Championship this year .At the end of the day ir would be who won the final round - Matt or Wallace. Having set a new outright hill record on the first run=off of the day Wallace went first and unfortunately spun off into the armco between Orchard and Ettores.

After a short delay Will went next setting a time that Matt couldn’t quite match, 35.22 against 35.70. However, it meant that Matt finished the season one point ahead of Wallace with Will another point back, 192 – 191-190.

After Shelsley Walsh we declared that Rodney Eyles was the winner of the Midland Hill Climb Championship for 2026 – Richard Snow needed to break all four of the remaining class records in order to beat Rodney. The conditions at Shelsley made that impossible, but at Prescott Snowy beat his own class record twice to reduce Rodney’s winning margin to 1 point – 131 to 130. In third is previous champion Johnathen Varley with 126 points ahead of last years winner – Richard Price with 120 points and Rob Lloyd 117.

Please see the attached class points chart to all class winners and also the Top Ten Challenge – won by Will Hall from Matthew Ryder, Johnathen Varley and Wallace Menzies.

Tom Weaver wins the Under 25s class from Max Hawkes and Tom Morgan. The Over 65s goes to Rodney Eyles from Dave Wilson and Richard Price.

Unfortunately Alex Summers was unable to drive at Prescott but stepped forward to do interviews in the paddock and was duly awarded the Midland Competitor/ Personality of the Meeting for his great knowledge and information given to us all.

7 days of queries to these results before they are finalised.

Our Prize Giving Dinner is Saturday 28th. November – details and next years Calendar to follow next week !

WHAT a weekend we had in the rain at Loton Park

After all the sunshine and hot days throughout the summer the weather changed at Loton Park last weekend with heavy rain being the order of the day. Saturday was worse but after a dry early morning on Sunday, by mid-morning the rain returned with showers, some heavy for the rest of the day.

Through it all came the three leaders in the British Championship – Matt Ryder and Wallace Menzies, each taking a run-off win with Will Hall in third each time with their British series to probably be decided at the very last round at Prescott in 3 weeks.

In the Midland Championship Rodney Eyles cannot now be beaten – Richard Snow needed to break his own class record, which even he was unable to do in the conditions. They have both won their class at every round this year, with Rodney breaking 5 records against 2 new records for Richard. IntThird place is Johnathen Varley ahead of a tying Richard Price and Rob Lloyd.

Congratulations to Rodney for becoming Midland Hill Climb Champion for 2026 and adding another title to the many he has earned over many years. Further it looks very likely that he will also be the winner of our ‘Over 65’ category.

In the Top Ten Challenge Will Hall now leads from a tying Johnathen Varley and Matthew Ryder , Wallace Menzies and Dave Uren.

Please see the attached class score sheets for all scores and placings. Any queries please email me.

We now move on to Prescott in 2+ weeks with the British Championship to witness the conclusion of that series and who will come out on top – Matt, Wallace or Will.

See you there.

Bill
