anywhere we can find the results?

I heard it was a good weekend, although Neil's old capri apparently got binned on Saturday.

cancel that, foudn the results here: http://blcc.com.au/dmdocuments/results010308.pdf

great work from stuart, 5th overall (first tin top) in a very tough field. just goes to show the 4wds are very hard to beat in a short event with a standing start. Looks like Neil had a tough day in formula libre, doesn't look like the right class for that car to me.

And well done to Peter Gumley, another overall win with combined 63.54

Can't see Michelle in the results, was there some problem or am I blind?

Is Neils car fixable?

Those results are for March NSW Hillclimb, not the Australian Championships - Australian results weren't up last time I looked.

Raps, thank you for your help on the weekend. A big thank you to Neil who really was a great help on Thursday and Friday until my pit crew turned up Friday night.

I understand there were approx 134 entries.

Outright winners were

1st Gary West 21.73

2nd Andrew Howell 22.11

3rd Peter Gumley 22.33

1st Michele Guyer 26.81

2nd Amy Mrcela 29.66

3rd Mandy Tighe 32.03

Neil was put into Formula Libre 751-1300cc under protest (because he isn't an open wheeler) and came second with a time of 29.00

Michele came 16th overall

Neil came 29th

[Michele]

I will try to get some photos up for everyone, it was a fabulous weekend... I didn't want it to end. Makes me look forward to speed weekend even more now. I'll probably camp at McPhillamy Park.

Cling wrap works a treat

Neil cried like a baby when he saw the ol' Capri

Its hard to capture "steep" in a photograph, but these do it pretty well. Thats why I chose them... what a spectacular backdrop!!!

I liked the row of tyres in the first pick

Congrats Michele! Your killing it!! awesome work!!

Will be good to see it in action in December!
