40 bends, Lithgow.
Disused road is still there, but not used now...

I used to run the stock Fiat 124S, last time did 3 runs in a row.. 40.1, 40.1, 40.1.
My mate did a 39.9 in his 1275S and I couldn't knock it off.
Fiat was quicker to 50MPH (6.8S) than the S (7.5S) but then you hit 3rd and it weighed 940kg..

Matara Hill Climb in King Edward Parn Newcastle NSW. Held in October (I think). Always gets lots of spectators and there is always a few minis kicking ass

Arthurs Seat (50 km around the bay, south of Melbourne) used to hold an annual Historic Hillclimb on the 2.5km tourist road to the lookout. I ran my Bugeye Sprite there 4 or 5 times before pressure from commercial establishments in the area and the increase in costs of insurance and CAMS compliance made the event unviable.
Great hill though, 8 hairpins and very steep. The Bugeye ran a 5.1 : 1 diff to enable second gear to be used on the hairpins.

I presume you mean Huntley. No I can't give you any more info, but Bob Bell who is the local mini guru will be able to help. His phone number is 42561909. He runs a hill climb mini and is building a vtec conversion at the moment I am led to believe.

Huntley just out of Dapto, next to the mine.
Ozmotorsport took a few of us MDC dudes for a run up it years ago.
Mt Keira is not bad when nobody's around, either!

I have run at Amaroo Hillclimb, Silverdale, Huntley and Bathurst (the esses hill climb)
Huntley is a bit steep for a low powered car, you may not have to lift the foot at all!

Silverdale was the best, I was supposed to run in a night hillclimb but I broke my knee a couple of weeks before the meeting.

Noosa Hillclimb, Sunshine Coast, Qld, November each year. Excellent.

Mt Stuart Hillclimb, Townsville, Qld. First run this year 17 April. Will let you know what's it like.

Cronulla Car Club ran that night hill climb and I strung most of the wire for the lights. We even had to paint all the safety barriers white so they could be seen. I wanted to run a kart at Huntley but they won't allow anything with less than 10'' wheels to run there.

A potted history of Thornleigh CC. Brings back memories for me, which is another way of saying I am an old fart. Saturday nights getting lost around Maralya and bashing around Windsor and Richmond. Memories, no bloody speed limits either.
