Michele Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) I've had yet another great day at the track and I managed to come home with three trophies and hubby received one. Take a lap with me in the GTR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoaVam3rqMo Thank you to the SAU'ers who came to say hi today, it was great to catch up and meet some more people PS I tried the camera strapped to the seat, it vibrated too badly, so I youtubed the helmet cam version again. Managed to stop the clunking noise - I attached some gaff tape to the batteries as they were clunking in the housing, ever so slightly, but enough to cause a loud clunk.

Michele Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) There were three GTR's entered in the SV category and they came 1st, 2nd and 3rd - Mark (hubby), Dereck and meeeeeee, then followed (if I remember rightly) an EVO 6? a WRX and I thought there was another. Apart from the first three, I can't remember the order of the rest of the category. I came third in the Type 1/2 over 3001cc category with the GTST and then Fastest Lady. IT WAS FUN! When they release the results I'll post in more detail. I had around 3-4 PB's today, even with the GTST so I'm happy as a pig in mud atm.

Surprised the EVO didn't win it.

Michele Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Cool man. I'm gonna enter mine next time. Next Hillclimb is Saturday 01 September (Saturdays are not common). Helpful stuff Memberships are due this time of the year... so if you join, you get to June 2008. You can download the Entry Forms and Supp Regs from the website and pay online/direct deposit into their bank account. You can join CAMS on the day at the club (confirm this is still possible with the secretary). Entries should be paid and emailed in before the day (usually Wed/Thur before the event) or cost $20 more and risk missing out if they have a full field. http://www.sdmahillclimb.com/ You need - Approved helmet, 100% cotton clothing from ankles to neck/wrists, small fire extinguisher with metal bracket (on sale at Super Cheap atm for $19), blue triangle to identify battery location i.e on bonnet, a piece of gaff over the positive terminal on your battery. Thats all I can think of off the top of my head. Not much required for a fun time. I'm here to help if anyone has any questions.

The Wakefield hillclimb track is sooo tight its almost no fun at all LOL good for karts i imagine. I had an absolute ball yesterday at Fairbairn - is there a cure for motorsport addiction? If so... is it called bankruptcy? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/178585-youtube-sdma-hillclimb/#findComment-3258557 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeTR Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 You track the moving object with the lens, and a slower shutter rate blurs the moving images only (in this case the background) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/178585-youtube-sdma-hillclimb/#findComment-3264468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
