	Classic Car Weekly • News • Uphill struggle for Shelsley
		There will be racing at Shelsley Walsh in 2004 but, as the £1.5 million necessary to secure a new 99-year lease has not yet been raised, there's continued doubt over its long term future.
		The future of the Shelsley Walsh hillclimb is still hanging in the balance as, with the current lease due to expire by the end of March, the money necessary to secure a new 99-year agreement — which would guarantee the historic venue's motor sport future — has not been raised.
		The Shelsley Trust was established last year in order to raise £1.5 million — a sum that would both buy the new 99-year lease and enable facilities at the famous hillclimb to be improved — but so far only £440,000 has been secured.

	Shelsley Walsh Speed Hill Climb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Shelsley Walsh Speed Hill Climb is a hillclimb in Worcestershire, England, organised by the Midland Automobile Club (MAC).
		This makes Shelsley a hill on which horsepower is important, and on which the gap in times between the most powerful cars and the rest is greater than at many other venues.
		Basil Davenport was perhaps Shelsley's first "superstar", breaking the hill record four times between 1926 and 1928 in his Frazer Nash "Spider", but even more significant was the appearance on the hill of Raymond Mays.

		The days in between the Ring and Shelsley were filled with hard work to remove and repair the drive shafts, which had both sheared their keys and friction welded themselves together again.
		Perhaps one could rely on this method of fixing as being the final solution but we chose the more conventional route of using 60 tons to separate them and then spent a fortune cleaning them up and cutting an additional keyway.
		I arrived at Shelsley just as the very wet VSCC meeting was finishing to get the sensational news that despite our very own Martin Morris’s best efforts in Humphrey (and no doubt others’) David Leigh had made FTD in Basil Davenport’s 1924 GN Spider.

	BRMC - MAC Centennial, Shelsley Walsh
		Court House Farm on the Shelsley Walsh Estate came to his notice as having a potentially suitable track and, after thorough inspection, was approved by all of the Committee.
		This brings to light Shelsley’s only real problem and that is the lack of any connection, other than the track itself, between the Start and Finish areas.
		As this has always been a feature of Shelsley, the organization works hard at making the most efficient use of the time available and is rarely behind schedule.

		Reigning champion Adam Fleetwood has won nearly all the previous rounds by setting outright records, so there is an outright record at Shelsley Walsh on the cards, and that is what is exciting about this, the second meeting of the year at Shelsley.

		Shelsley Walsh, England — This famous hill climb in rural Worcestershire has been in use since 1905 and is claimed to be the world's oldest motorsport venue.
		Those courses varied from six to 21km; in comparison Shelsley Walsh was nothing more than a 1 100m uphill "squirt".
		In practice Shelsley's 3m-wide farm track shuddered beneath the European Hill Climb champion's wheels as its ear-splitting 390kW engine punched through the short-wheelbase Bergwagen' twin-rim rear wheels to rocket him to the summit.
