2025 was the fourth hill climb organised by Bo’ness Sporting Automobile Club and saw the welcome return of the event's associated classic car show. Our aim is to preserve the heritage and tradition of motorsport at Kinneil Estate. None of this could have been possible without the support of our Club Patrons, Friends, Members and the wider motorsport community.

The Club wishes to sincerely thank John Clark of the John Clark Group and Dr Barry Wood for their support once again in 2025.

We would also like to thank Lynsey Gow, Lesley Sweeney, Mike Ewart and Alan Brodie of Falkirk Council for their help.

Special thanks also to the residents of Kinneil Estate who will live through three days of motorsport on their doorsteps plus all the noise and bustle of the set-up and take-down periods.

Finally, we would like to thank the following groups and individuals who have helped in some way to make this event a success – Chris Ryan and Ewan and Alex of JMW Systems, The Friends of Kinneil, Sean and Steve at Sustainable Thinking Scotland, LocHire, Event-a-Loo, Lothian Car Club, Mini Spares, Colin at Robertson Timber for his support yet again this year, Brian Raeburn and Gary & Ryan Maxwell for their local help and expertise, Peter Speakman for his constant encouragement, Mark and Nairn Jardine for course set-up, Colin McLachlan for his infectious enthusiasm and support, Alan Biggar and Jim Pettigrew for the Paddock, Alex Hazelwood for the programme  and of course all the officials who are helping this weekend Campbell Deas, Billy Cater, Jim Reid, Jonathan Louden, Hazel Galbraith, Chaz Marshman and all his marshals, Jock Ramsay, Tim MacKay, Douglas Paterson, Linlithgow Air Cadets and all the other unnamed volunteers who work away behind the scenes.

This year we celebrate ninety two years of motorsport at Kinneil. We are glad you could join us.

Upwards and onwards!
