Kerry Motor Club invites you to enter the Ballyfinnane Hillclimb as part of the Brian O’Neill Garden Equipment and Trailers Ballyfinnane Festival of Speed. The event celebrates 120 years of closed-road motorsport in County Kerry.
On July 15, 1903, the Ballyfinnane Hillclimb was the final event in the Gordon Bennett Speed Fortnight.
It was won by Charles Rolls who later became a founder of the Rolls Royce Motor Company.
This one-off event will celebrate that historic occasion by running a Hillclimb in the closest possible
vicinity to the original climb as modern rules allow.
Competitors are encouraged to arrive on Saturday afternoon and create a festival atmosphere in the
village. Kerry Motor Club, the Ballyfinnane Community Association and the Shanty Bar will provide
entertainment on Saturday evening.
Scrutiny, will take place on Saturday July 15 to encourage more people to stay locally. Camping will be allowed; security will be provided, and the community centre will remain open all night for toilet facilities.
The event is organised and promoted by Kerry Motor Club. In association with the Ballyfinnane Community Hall Association.
An official programme will be published – deadline for inclusion on the entry list is Thursday July as the programme prints on Friday.
