Hi All,

The Cooma Monaro Automobile Club Inc. will be holding their third Hillclimb at Mt Gladstone on the 18th of May. Due to a small turnout last race (22) it's possible it could be cancelled. Read email that I received:

"Fellow Hillclimb Enthusiasts,

Attached are Entry Form and Supplementary Regulations for the CMHAC Mt Gladstone Hillclimb on May 18. If you intend to enter this event please do so early.

There is a significant amount of work and expense required by CMHAC officials and volunteers to set up the event, it is a public road and must remain open the day before and the day after the event, plus the restaurant at the top needs to be financially compensated for the inability to open on the day.

Due to the disappointing number of entries for our hillclimb of April 6, the club has decided to review number of entries received on May 5th and decide on whether the event will go ahead or be cancelled at that time.

We would hate this new hillclimb venue to fail due to lack of support, so urge you to enter early if you intend to do so. We are entering negotiations with CAMS with a view to running full type 4 vehicles (unregistered Sports Sedans) for the events after winter, which may interest a few more entrants.

Julian Besestri

Event Entries"

It was a well run event and a lot of fun,It's also a good chance to test your car and skills against liked minded people. At the last event I battled it out with a couple of Evos and came out on top! :no: Here's the link to the club: http://www.coomacarclub.com.au/mt-gladstone-hillclimb/

Some competitors have uploaded their race on Youtube if you want to have a look at the course.

It's only 1 hour and 15 minutes from Canberra so for all you Canberrans it's almost South Tuggeranong!

Please show your support because it would be a shame to see it cancelled!

I found out about this Hill climb via the in-laws that live close by, was planing on doing it later on in the year if you do struggle for entries number shoot me a pm I will enter. Its stange that the Cooma Monaro Automobile Club Inc would not send out invite to people that have done other events with them in the past or use the mailing list from the Snowy Mountains 1000 to advertise.

I live an hour away yet never heard of the event.

Will let some hill climb fanatic mates know.

But these guys need to advertise more

I agree. As far as I know it was only advertised with the Canberra Hill Climb Club and local radio. I found out through word of mouth and this is why I posted it here.

I'm not a member of the club but it seemed to be run by a bunch of guys that are open to suggestions in how to improve the general running and organization of the event. After the presentation all the competitors discussed how it could be improved and advertising was brought up along with other concerns ie scrutineering etc

It looks like a nice club level hill climb that I am sure could attract more entries if it was publicised more among CAMS affiliated clubs.

I like the simple class regs as my car would fit nicely in Type 3 without having to compete in Type 4 as some clubs require.

When my car is running again I would not mind giving it a go later in the year.

There is a NSW championship hillclimb event on the same day at Tamworth, so im guessing a lot of people are going to that instead.

Thanks for the info, I'll pass it on.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...

      GReddy Injector Help!

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
