'It was on a Monday
morning the tarmac man came to call!' Further to negotiations with the landlords of Wiscombe Park the directors of Wiscombe Ltd are please to confrim that the hoped for resurfacing work will commence at the beginning of March. The contractor will be planing an extensive length of the 900 metre course prior to the application of new tarmac, which will commence prior to the start line and end beyond of the finish. Such work is a major undertaking and investment but it will ensure that the venue remains the premier hill climb course in the south west, providing a first class challenge to drivers and riders alike. What chance a new hill record in 2012? Well the national championship meeting in July is the most likely ocassion for that to happen so make a note in your diary NOW and be there on Sunday July 29th.
