Alan - Its a CAMS approved tarmac hillclimb being run by CMI Car Club. Its sorta like a targa stage, but only with no navigator and you get to repete the course 7/8 times and the quickest time of the day from you runs is the one that counts. Everything from old Mini's and Alfa's thru to GT-R's, Evo's will compete. Total field would be approx 40/45.

sav man - Basic club day stuff - battery sticker, 1kg fire extinguisher, secondary bonnet catch (leather belt would do), minimum CAMS L2S licence. All easy stuff.

congrats on the win t01-100. pity the about the weather though.

I watched most of the morning session but left after lunch. I heard from andrew (aqua/green GTI Golf) that you came first with a much quicker time than the rest of the field so well done.

Thank JaFF

The course was very slippery in places and extremely greasy. When I arrived at lunch time I herd that a 55.x was the quickest. In my first run I was all over the show only managing a 56.x. I worked out how the windscreen wipers worked and dropped the tyre pressures for the second run. Seemed to work OK with a 51.x second pass, but suffered wheel spin of the start and overshot the bottom hairprin. I tidied up the start and took a better line at the bottom hairpin for the final run of 50.3. That black Evo Lancer was the next quickest with a 53.x

Road re-open time came before I could another go so couldn't crack a 49, although I believe it would have been very achievable simply going into the top hairpin a little deeper.

Great event and well run. Can’t wait to do Rally Tas in the car.

    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
    • Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
    • Being behind an RB25DET, we know he won't have the small box for long at all...
