I dont know anything about 3 of those cars. (marked with a ##)
I imagine Jon Siddons wouldnt be in a slow car after seeing his Z car.

Jon is having a drive in Furg's 1600. Its quick, ex Bargwana improved production car. have been at morgan park with the boys before.
We are all heading up to te Harvey bay event too.

FARK !

last year there was 1 car in this class, this year there are 6 !

I have just realised that it's a dual entry !
I hate dual entry's you get beaten twice by the same car

any idea what time it will pull at the hill ?


Alex, pictures (and costs) of those spoilers might be interesting

Well practise went OK.
I managed 11 runs

practise times are up here
http://www.hillclimbracing.com/mt_cotto ... _Times.pdf

I only found this site today http://www.hillclimbracing.com/

best time so far is a 50.98
The dual entry guys pretty much both ran flat 50's so i need to find at least another second.

so how we go eh ?

Jeff what time does it start out there tomorrow? I am going to come out want to make sure i get there early enough.

Cheers

thats a good question Luke, I cant find a copy of the supp regs to check

I doubt that much will happen before 8.00 am, racing probably wont start untill 9.00 am
I will most likely turn up some time between 7.30 and 8.00.

I decided to put some packers back into my rear suspension to help get better traction out of the corners and had a minor drama when the bolt that holds the shock absorber sheared off. dashed across to my inlaws place to borrow easy outs etc, it turned out to be easy to fix so that was lucky.

Whilst I think of it had another minor issue before the first run, the clutch master cylinder decided to spit a piston, Luckily Ken knew exactly what the problem was and it was going again pretty quickly.

Cool, the guy from my work is quickest in his Formula Vee so will be interesting to watch him whilst im there. Will try and get there early then before something else happens to you!!

well at least someone you know is winning.

talking about something hapenning, I nearly lost it first run coming back through the last loop. The rear kicked out over a little rise. I could see the fence coming up really quickly, luckily the car kind of drifted around and straightened up. Could have been messy

last 2 runs my rear brakes locked up at the hairpin, so I might need to adjust my brake bias.

some photos here http://www.mgccq.org.au/raceresults.htm

how did you go out there today jeff?
