Sprinting

Hi,

I have been thinking about doing hillclimbs but I think that you just dont get enought time in the car. So was wondering from your experiences do you get more time in the car when doing sprinting??

Thanks for your time.

Tom

70s vs 40s, it's all pretty short. See you at the Abingdon Carnival

In general you will get more track time at a sprint because the tracks are often longer and there are possibilities for 2 lap events. For example you may get a 2 minute run on a 2 lapper at Anglesey. That said you may get the same number of runs as at a hillclimb.
The best way to get more track time is to go to the club-level events which may have lower entries.
