Not as posh as shelsey walsh , does make you want to buy a Ktm though !! I wonder how fast Mr Dunlop on his superbike would be ? Off to snetterton now to watch the short circuit boys .
All the best Mark

I don't about Mr Dunlop but Mr Martin raced it on a modified bike and even running rough put in a very respectable time.. 8)

Awesome......Speaking as a  fairly regular participant at hillclimb schools (albeit in my car  ) around the 3 Midland Hills that is just incredible..I saw the Guy Martin programme a few years ago and was very impressed. I'm about to do Loton Park in about 10 days time,having already done Shelsley Walsh and Prescott.
