Really fun time today, 10 cars ran; John Powell (fastest time), Jody, Ainsely(Winner), Cadiz with his new EVO, pushed hard, a blue RX, can't remember driver's name, he was most improved driver, dropped his time from a 1:41 to 1:33 in three runs, had several other good drivers, can't remember all right now. Jameer Ali was ther, he drove Stoute's RX-7 really well.
TTASA, i understand only got permission on Friday, and wanted to pull it off before it clashed with others or someone lodged a complaint or some other fishy business. There would be more (hopefully)

As stated, to do this with such late approval notice, was quite an achievement.

Plenty potential for a much greater event once a wide cross section of competitors become involved.

Well folks i have always been one to speak my mind on this forum and this time should be no different. Yes the event was last minute but for good reason, and who knows maybe the small number of enthusiastic competitors and spectators actually made the first Hill Climb in TnT a great success.

Lets see: The crew included TTASA (of course) - pulling up to the event we saw Mr. Mad Cow himself at the door handing out competitor bands and taking entry fees, then to drive to the start line/pit area to find Mr. Sugden, Nizam, Bunny, Tanko, and a number of other TTASA members. In the competitors mix we had TTRC (Cadiz, Lochan, Powell) Dex (Jodi), and TTASA (Clive, Jameer, and a few others) not to mention a few newbies as well. After the first run we even saw Mr. MATT himself Rawle Mahabir giving his usual take on things.

All in all it was so much fun to be around these groups while not at a MATT/TTASA/Ministry back and forth session. I know the motorsporting community will never see eye to eye on everything but if today is any example of what can be achieved when everyone comes together then take note because in all the steps backward in recent years this was surely a step forward and in the right direction.

Just imagine with everything that has gone on this was the deal. Bunny as car O and acting as official CoC. Nizam starting the cars, Clive and Jameer in helmets and Rawle giving words of encouragement to each competitor (who happened to consist of a few TTRC and Dex) as they drove up to the start line.

The event has a long way to go in terms of logistics (timing, marshals, cage or no cage decision etc etc) especially if its true potential of many more cars entering is realized but for now we can be thankful for small mercies.

TTASA well done. Jameer hats off to you for your vision of this event.

This is not meant as an a$$ kissing note but rather a well deserved thumbs up.

I would have loved to have taken part as well but with the timing it was just not meant to be. We had a down d islands thing. Hopefully next time we can get more support for you guys and definitly more competitors.

What was John Powell driving?
