It was literally a 'Wynning weekend' for Telford driver Graham Wynn who took Best Time of Day on both occasions to dominate the Autumn Finale speed meetings held at Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb.
Wynn, driving his supercharged Force PC single-seater racing car, posted a time of 26.20 seconds on Saturday to beat Simon Marsh and Gary Thomas, followed by a time only two hundreths slower on Sunday to beat Marsh again and Bill Hutchins.
The two one-day events attracted a capacity entry, including competitors fighting for final places in several championships and one-make series, one of the most popular being the Allswage Championship, which has had a regular entry list of over 90 drivers, competing at venues across the country during the season.
Championship sponsor, Dave West, himself a regular competitor in his Peugeot 106, said: "Yet again the competition has been fierce, but we have had some great sport and cameradie between drivers, and Halesowen man Fred Currell - who I can only describe as a 'determined' driver - has clinched the title yet again in his venerable VW Golf."
Following early morning visibility problems which curtailed practice, Saturday saw over 30 riders competing in the National Hill Climb Association Championship for motorcycles, with north Devon rider Paul Jeffery taking the title for a record 9th time, riding his 1199cc KTM RC8R, and receiving praise from NHCA chairman Peter Isaac, who said: "Our championship is run on capacity and classes and is always closely fought but Paul has wrapped up the title yet again in true style."
Other class wins came on Saturday for Mike Edwards in a British Mini, Paul Jones in a Lotus Elise, Andrew Cottrill in a Subaru Impreza, John Palmer in a Westfield, Duncan Andrews in a Porsche Cayman and Steve Brown in a Westfield Megabusa.
The very closely fought racing car classes saw wins for Simon Andrews in an OMS 28, Russell Haynes in a Zeus ZR163 and Gary Thomas in a Force PC.
Class winners in the classic and sports sections were John Payne in an MG Midget, Martin Spencer in GN Spider 2, Craig Hughes in a Reliant Sabre Turbo, Nick Smith in a Triumph TR6 and Roger Jones in an Austin Mini.
Sunday welcomed competitors in specific classes for Porsche, Ferrari, Morgan and TVR cars, with respective wins for David Hilton in a Porsche 996, Philip Whitehead in a Ferrari F355, Rob Toon in a Morgan Plus 8 and Steven Mogg in a TVR Griffith 500.
The ever-popular Paul Matty Sports Cars Lotus Championship reached its climax at Shelsley Walsh where Henley-on-Thames driver Jane Millward was crowned Champion in her 1967 Lotus Elan S3, commenting: "I have had an amazing year after suffering so many problems in 2014, the Elan has run faultlessly and helped me to achieve my target times and clinch the title."
Championship organiser, Paul Matty, added: "This championship started off as a bit of fun between three friends some 24 years ago but has since grown into a very competitive handicap series for all makes of Lotus cars, now with a waiting list for entries. We have several celebration ideas planned for our 25th anniversary next year, which promises to be yet another great season."
The weekend saw the official retirement of Midland Automobile Club competition secretary Roger Thomas, from Tenbury Wells, who was honoured with a presentation on the start line during the Sunday lunch break.
MAC president John Moody, speaking to the assembled throng, said: "Roger is a former competitor, and a calm and comfortable bloke, which has enabled him to cope perfectly well with everything thrown at him, ranging from last-minute competitor enquiries to the venue's potentially disastrous landslip some year back. He has also been a driving force in locating new venues to challenge MAC members, including Mira, Anglesey and Blyton Park and we wish him well as he pursues his interest in classic cars and caravan holidays."
