Not sure my car will be up and going in time, so probably not for me I'll try and crawl out of bed early to see a bit of it though

was a hoot last year, highly recommended for people new to hillclimbs!

[sav man]

i'd like to think my car will be ready, it's on the hoist with no brakes, missing a hub, and about to have it's turbos replaced.

[grandmasterb]

Depending on car situation i would like to enter if i have mine either going again (or if i even have it) but i'll be there to take a few happy snaps and some footage again.

Should be an interesting field again this year i reacon!!!

With David Owens Evo 4 suffered an engine failure on the weekend I was going take over his spot, but thanks to a re-design of the course with a chicane in the only straight a GTR is now uncompetitive so I'll be spectating... the Domain HC is now Evo and STi heaven.

Yeah a couple of us were talking about this yesterday, sounds a little gay if you ask me but hey they have to do something to slow things down i guess!!!

Funny thing is i think it will only cause more people to spin/crash and do more harm then good with the placement of the chicane!!!

Entry list looks interesting and should be an OK event but it wont compare to the previous years, the track just doesn't cut the mustard if you ask me

The previous indicent on that 'straight' was more to do with low performance driving that high speed... a basic TR7 is far from a fast car!

Guys,

I agree the course is far from ideal, makes one think that there must be some better roads around that would suit a hill climb. Would be great if there was a southern tas hill climb series over a few different roads.

Stu, any idea if this is possible and who would organise?

what about us poor northerners

Anything is possible, its just finding the right bit of road. I would like to see the old Eagle Hawk Neck course get up again, that would be good for most cars. 500 Car Club ran that one. Dysart was another old one that I'd previous run at (also 500CC), that was little boring as it wasn't very technical. If anyone has a fav bit fo road that is anywhere upto 2k with minmal residents speak up!

[Bov]

Yeh, Im not happy about the Chicane idea. Ive voiced my opinion but havent got a responce as yet ! Seems to defeat the purpose a little if you ask me. Im told it will make for a change back to second gear. My clubby revs to 9200rpm so for me its back to first. What a pain in the ar....e. But I will still have a good day if the rain stays away

Yeh a new track would be great if we could find one.

Cheers

yeah i know who crashed and i think it just comes to show that the people involved obviously look at it from a drivers point of view.

How long have they run the DOMAIN course and how many people have crashed on the straight (still got me buggered how you spin on a straight stretch of road ) but anyway its been done now!!!

I'd put my hand up to be in on that...

There are plenty of great roads that are ideal for it and i think a mini hill climb series would be awesome. Like i said i would put my hand up to do something like that and im more than happy to go and test all the roads

Thats going to be fun for you Greg seeing as the box's in the clubman's aren't all that user friendly trying to get back into first

I suggest holding it in 2nd and clutch kicking

what about us poor northerners

Sounds like someone needs a

[roaldin]

I'm entered. GT and WRX. The WRX is still in bits, hopefully it'll at least be driveable , and I have no intention of doing anything more than make a bit of noise in the GT.

Chicane ruins it IMO. Could end up being a bit of a washout.
