Round 4 of the Hillclimb Championships was held at Mt Cooperabung, Kempsey yesterday and Mark had a wonderful time now that all the tuning problems are sorted with the GTR - We owe a huge thank you to Scott at Insight Motorsport for getting us out of trouble and turning her from a splutterbox to a demon in a few short hours on a dyno.
Mark came first in his class, broke the class track record and won "Fastest Tin Top", putting him back in front for the series. Which is a huge effort considering the car was running pretty sick for round 2 & 3 at Bathurst.
The track was tight and slippery (even in the dry) so all the showers during the day and wet patches in the shade didn't help, not that the wet track worried Mark in the least, he had FTD there for a while until the track dried out and the open wheelers strutted their stuff.
I'm thinking about getting one of these next

I've added a video of one of my runs so you can see the track, there is a slow corkscrew bend that is deceiving because it keeps getting tighter and brings a lot of people undone. One of the Toranas rolled over the wall and ended stuck in the fork of a tree. I'll try to get some footage up for you of the Torana (I only have video after the tilt tray brought it up to the pits).
