Nsw Hillclimb Championship - Round 3

[Michele]

Round 3 of the NSW Hillclimb Championships are on in Canberra this Sunday (tomorrow). There will be some big runners out there including Peter Gumley who holds the outright record at 38.98 and makes it look easy.

Entry is free to spectate, so come out and get a feel for how things happen out there... then bring your own cars and have a run on 27th April (remember I'm here to help if anyone needs support in preparation).

Tarmac (is Jo coming?) and I are running, I don't expect to be competive at this one, but am looking forward to some more time behind the wheel of this beast, I wish it wasn't so low or I would be tempted to take it to Texi LOL

Edit: scrutineering begins at 7am and the racing starts at 9am, should run until approx 4pm. The Pit Stop Cafe sells drinks, snacks and sausage sandwiches all day.

Yep, she is. We can't wait, it should be a good day. I put a new exhaust system on the car and it sounds awsome. People at the spectator points will be able to hear it going around the track now

It was great to see so many of you guys turn up (I needed the hugs).

Local club event is on again in approx 2 weeks (27th April) and remember I'm here to help if anyone is interested in running. www.sdmahillclimb.com

Jeno, Jo, Tuk Tuk and I are going to Bathurst to have a crack at Mt Panorama with Bathurst Light Car Club in a few months time... if you're interested in joining us, you should think about starting here at the local club first.

What a wierd day.....we got there and it was raining heavy, then it cleared up just in time for the first run, then it got real hot, then in the arvo it poured down again and even hailed for a bit, then it cleared up again........ still had lots of fun though Those open wheelers are nuts. Can't wait for the next one!

Thanks to those guys who came out to say hello and helped with the tents. We only got a bit wet lol

If you come into the competitors area and park in either the first street (if you could call it that) on your left, or on the main road in, there are some shady spots which are out of the way on the right. You can also go to the end of the main road and there is (nice) gravel area to the right of the scrutineering caravan. They won't mind you parking in these places at all. They don't like them parking in the first few bays though because competitors are looping around there all day while doing their runs.

Hopefully Turismo will be running this one too. Reece?? are you coming? Bring the Starlet, double enter with Pat let me rephrase that, you can share the car LOL

[INVRTD]

awsome sounds like a plan,

[Tarmac-]

LOL now that's funny!

[TURISMO]

I'll come in the 32, but the starlet might miss out,

Besides, I wouldn't want to shame you guys
