-clinli fB IH W T l 1970 The B.A.R.C. Hill Climb Championship was organised for the first time In 1968 and proved to be a great and immediate success with Competitors. Unlike the R.A.C. British Hill Climb Championship, this Club event Is open to all kinds of cars on a "Class Bogey Time” , basis and, as such, encourages the normal club member to enter. Perhaps the immediate effect of the Championship was to strengthen club spirit as local members who had not competed outside their Immediate home area were moved to journey to the other end of the land to take part in the qualifying rounds. The boys from the South discovered that their Northern cousins did not still dress in woad whilst the ruff, bluff types from up here soon found that there were some nice friendly folk In the South as well. During the first year the Championship was financed and prize money provided from Club and Centre funds. Even with a modest scale of awards over seventy people took part in the series. So successful was the first year that In 1968 the Castrol Company recognised the value of the Championship and provided support and sponsorship which enabled the scope and stature of the competition to Increase enormously. The "Castrol/B.A.R.C. Hill Climb Championship” as it came to be known was an even greater success In 1969 with some 130 entries taking part for the vastly increased prize money. Castrol were well satisfied with the popularity of the Championship, which gained a good deal of editorial publicity and once again they are supporting this competition In 1970. At this point we would like to pay tribute to their kind and generous support of motor sport at Club level of which this Championship is only one aspect. Unlike the Shell/R.A.C. British Hill Climb Championship which is a “ fastest to the top Irrespective” blind, our Championship is run on a Class Bogey Time Improvement basis so that all cars can have some chance. This does have the disadvantage of making the marking a little mathematical and not as easy to grasp as the "Shell/R.A.C.” affair. At the same time it is the spread of competition around the different classes which this mathematical penalty allows which has been the strong point of the “ Castrol/B.A.R.C.” series and have made it a popular and strongly supported Championship rather than just a pale shadow of its senior brother. 21 The rounds of the Championship for 1970 are spread about the Country fairly widely as can be seen from the list below :- Date Venue Promoting Centre April 5 Brunton South Western April 19 Harewood Yorkshire April 26 Loton Park Hagley & D.L.C.C.

The 18 classes used at all the Championship events are taken as a basis and for each of these classes a "Bogey Time” is established. This “ Bogey Time” Is normally based upon the Class Record standing at the start of this season although in some cases where different classes have been used In the past it has been necessary to reconstruct "Class Records” on a graphical basis. To this class record a straight eight seconds is added and the results is the Class “ Bogey Time” used for the whole of the 1970 series. Competitors in the Championship score .01 of a mark for each .01 of a second by which their best time in the two Class Runs at each qualifying meeting beats their Class Bogey Time. In addition, at the end of each meeting, the ten competitors who have ganed the most marks during these Class Runs take part in a special run-off. Any competitor who manages to beat his previous marks gained for the Class Runs on this run-off takes the new, higher score in place of his earlier score. Those who do not manage to improve retain their Class Run scores. This run-off provides an exciting feature at the end of the meeting for both spectators and competitors alike. Continued on page 23
