I think You have just let the cat out of the Bag Dr, well for me anyway

Closed Hill Climbs. A real shame.

Do you think we should have a Mini Comp and BQQ After. Well its an Idea

There are still a few hillclimbs about that I know of..:
Dapto,
Newcastle (King Edward Pk) once a year. Need to be royalty to enter..
Raymond Terrace? Run by MGCC Newcastle, I think.
Buladelah Mtn (now THIS is a hill!) dunno who runs it..
Mt Panorama, Bathurst. UP the hill from Forest's Elbow. Run by Bathurst Light Car Club.
Wakefield Pk ( I think they run one)

I won't mention the `unofficial' ones...

there's only one in adelaide i think.....collingrove...run by SCCSA

i've heard its pretty good, hoping to get out there for a look sometime soon
have any of the adelaide guys (or anyone for that matter) been before?

So was it raining when you ran the 1438??? A second slower than the Cooper!!

So you never found Silverdale??? Bells Line of Road???? for the amateurs!!!

Canberra has a regular Hill Climb scene out at Fairbairn Park

"Show me the Mini!"

NO it wasn't raining- the Fiat was just too bloody heavy (940Kg), damn twin cam had no torque under 4500, and the steering was crap compared to a Mini on Amaroo hill, which was pretty tight..

<edit> I fell in love with the Fiat- nice car, but I found it wasn't as quick as my old Mini was.
At Lithgow I did 3 runs, all 40.1- my mate's stock 1275S did a 39.9...

I did beat him around Amaroo dirt circuit, won the class..

I've been out to Collingrove, but I didn't drive. Its a very nice track and everything is well organised.

There was a run this past Saturday which unfortunately I couldn't make it out to, but I'm hoping to get out to the next one for at least a look. You need a Cams 2S licence, fire extinguisher, bonnet tiedown and battery triangle to run I believe.

Historic Racing Car Club (QLD) put on a good show at the Mt Cotton Hillclimbs every year.

Redfive's right about what you need, I've been there and took my "Before Mini" car out there. God Damn tight for a big car but straight up. Going with DrMini's format.

Collingrove 2003 2000cc WRX 39.13

The fastest in the WRX club is a 35.12 in an old 98 WRX R-Spec Tyres. The more powerful WRX's where slower, handling is more important (after a certain amount to get up the hill. )
