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?

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

Outright Ladies

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 :P

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 :laugh:

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

yeh, those pics really give you an idea how steep it really is,, hence hill-climb. :P

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 :)

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
