Thanks again for the info on this event, would have missed a great day out otherwise. Unfortunately I had to leave early as my bike was not running to good on the way up and didnt want to break down too late on in the day. The problem was traced to the carb working loose on the manifold!
The star of the event was this car...




It was quick as well and made a great racket.
Here are more photos..










And lastly I passed these two on the road at Ayr and seen them at Bo'ness.



Oh nearly forgot this one, a K reg MZ fitted with a Yanmar diesel engine. Looked very well put together.

Sad Wish I had went now...I ended up tidying the garage and shed and taking it all to the dump.
Is that an annual event as going by your great pictures it looks a smashing event. Cool

Great photos Doug, thanks for posting them. Looks like one to visit someday! the Dodge (and cargo) was a regular at Bo'ness in the early 50s.

Rick, have you contacted the organisers of the hillclimb to see if they have any pics of your truck? They had some old photos in the programme so might have an archive of them.
More photos here from Sunday....
