Prescott 'Autumn Classic' Hill Climb event.
Prescott Hill, Gotherington, Cheltenham, Glos. GL52 9RD

The NSRA pre-49 day for 2010 will be held at the Prescott 'Autumn Classic' Hill Climb event, on the 3rd October. As this year's event has an American theme, the organisers have invited the NSRA to attend as a Club on the Sunday of this weekend event. Bristol Hotrods have also been separately invited, so we intend to combine the NSRA and Bristol club areas to hopefully make an impressive showing!

The event consists of competition on the hill, plus trade stands, club stands, an autojumble and various other attractions. The organisers will provide an enclosure in the Clubs area for NSRA Members to display their cars. Sunday entry for NSRA rods and passengers should be free, other adults £15 on the day, or £12 if booked in advance from Prescott. Entry for children 14 and under is free. Please let the gate staff know you are heading for the NSRA reserved club parking area.

Spills, chills and hot-rod thrills at Prescott Autumn Classic

Prescott Speed Hill Climb, the Gloucestershire home of the Bugatti Owners' Club, will host two days of America(r)na for its end of season Autumn Classic event on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 October.

To celebrate American automobilia there'll be Corvettes and Cadillacs, hot rods and flatheads (Ford V8s), Indians (motorcycles) and Harleys (Davidsons). Alongside the muscle cars and iconic motorcycles will be crowd-pulling favourites including the original exploding Model T Ford used by Laurel & Hardy and the Keystone Kops and Donald Trump's stretch Cadillac.

The Stars & Stripes theme continues with Elvis and his Las Vegas Showgirls, Sam & his Sax and the Jive dancers providing entertainment in the paddock throughout the weekend.

Spectators can treat their stomachs to the American theme with corndogs, hotdogs, shakes, wings and, of course, the essential American breakfast – eggs, hash browns, bagels, donuts and so on with lots of coffee or juice.

There'll be plenty of action on the famous Prescott hill with classic vehicles competing in the mornings and afternoons of each day. On Saturday 2 October, they will be joined by flatheads – the Chas Bang Dragster, holder of the UK flathead record, will also be on display.

Also on Saturday, Daleks racing against time will provide less serious competition and all weekend riders will be fighting gravity in the Wall of Death.

With American club stands, a vintage hot rod display and a concours competition for custom cars and rods completing the all-American theme, the Prescott Autumn Classic is not to be missed – y'all be there!
