Bo'ness Revival

Excellent news for you today 😍 We're delighted to be able to announce a three-year sponsorship deal for the Revival with Cask 88 (do give them a follow at @88Cask), starting with next weekend's non-spectator event at the temporary replacement venue of Forrestburn.

10/10 would recommend

If you missed this year's Revival, there's a healthy entry of classics (and moderns) at Doune - just outside Buchany, postcode FK16 6HD - this weekend. Events on Saturday and Sunday. Taster of forthcoming awesomeness in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=QAON4o…

Sunday theme: kindly face of Good Samaritan, and imagined townscape with crow-stepped gables, as depicted by artist of 1550s in 'Parable' Room of Kinneil House - originally Presence Chamber of James Hamilton, Duke of Châtellerault, former Regent to his cousin Mary Queen of Scots

Congratulations to Andrew Paterson for adding two more outright @88Cask Revival hillclimb wins to his considerable collection at the weekend, followed closely on each occasion by John Albiston. Saturday results here: bonessrevival.co.uk/wp-content/upl…

@BonessRevival at the weekend. Though a smaller event than usual there were plenty of amazing cars and speedy times on the track. We had some great chats about whisky with many attendees. Looking forward to next year, when the event is even bigger and better.

We're getting many enquiries about our events at #Christmas time. We're as busy as Santa Claus' Elves, working away in the background, on our plans and what we will be able to offer. Keep an eye on our website here bkrailway.co.uk/your-visit/san… for future news. ^JS 🎅#HoHoHo

Many thanks to @88Cask for being part of what we hope will be a fruitful relationship for all concerned. (And good luck at the weekend, Colin!)

The label features Colin McLachlan's wonderful Austin 7 Special, known as the Moose, which has been delighting spectators at Revival meetings since Colin first brought it out in 2018.

If you don't know Forrestburn, here's a view from on board Bo'ness Revival regular Angus Buchan's ex-Chris Cramer Terrapin Mk5 SR youtube.com/watch?v=7JS-Iz…

'Suitable vehicle' in this context means pre-1974 competition cars or pre-1980 modified road cars.

This year's Revival will take place on September 4/5😃 but (for COVID-related reasons) it will be held at Forrestburn and will not be open to spectators🙁If you have a suitable vehicle and would like to compete, here's the entry form: bonessrevival.co.uk/product/boness…

@Speed_Hillclimb @F1 Whitmore! Not Whitemore ... 🤦‍♂️

@Speed_Hillclimb @F1 The Elite was the car he and John Whitemore had raced at Le Mans three weeks earlier. The Porsche was his own car.

On This Day... In 1959, future double @F1 World Champion Jim Clark set FTD @BonessRevival hillclimb. Driving the Border Reivers entered Lister-Jaguar 'Flat-Iron', Clark set a time of 34.1 seconds for the win. He also drove a Porsche 356 and a Lotus Elite at the event. #OnThisDay

On This Day... In 1951, champ-to-be Ken Wharton set the fastest two times during the BHC round @BonessRevival in two different cars. He recorded 34.60s in his 1.0-litre Cooper and 34.97s in ERA R11B, finishing over 1sec clear of Sydney Allard. #OnThisDay #SpeedHillclimb

@Speed_Hillclimb That was the only sub-30 run in a car at a pre-Revival event. (A motorcycle also achieved this in the 1930s, but on a shorter course.)

On This Day... In 1964, Champ-to-be Peter Westbury set the 1st ever sub-30s run @BonessRevival #Hillclimb. Driving the #F1 Ferguson P99 4x4 car he set 29.87s. Tony Marsh was runner-up, and also below the previous hill record, but he was over 1sec behind Westbury. #OnThisDay

A BRAND NEW entrance is being built for our @Mus_Scot_Rways as part of our #SteamingAhead project. We're excited! The museum will open later in the year. @HeritageFundUK ^JS
