Bulahdelah Speed Weekend

[Neil]

Well Bulahdelah may not have a round of the NSW Hillclimb Championships this year but thats not stopping them letting us have some crazy fun on one of the best bits of road in Skippy land.

The 2008 Bulahdelah Speed Weekend is on the 20th and 21st of Sept with a Show and Shine on the Saturday for race cars/displays/market stalls/food and Driver fun on the Sunday.

If there's a piece of road more suited to hillclimbing than Wooton Way it could only be Bathurst's Mountain Climb.

I'd like to see a whole bunch of Skylines gridding up.

sounds brilliant. If the race car is not running (timing is about right for a run), we will bring the Z. Or the stagea. Or the bloody ute if necessary.

Everyone, if you are thinking about doing this hillclimb (best in NSW) don't miss out - these road stages are being shut down by the RTA and it may be your last chance

I drive this road a least once a week in my work truck...bit too twisty for me in anything with more power me thinks.

It's four lanes wide in sections. Do you actually know which part of the road we use?. I'm guessing NOT.

I've done it in my Skyline,in my Sports Sedan and can't wait to do it with the Radical.

cmon Paul bring the truck up, I'll bring the ute (z24 navara). Then we can have some fair head to head competition Being a hillclimb all you will need is an extinguisher, blue triangle on the battery(ies?) and a number on the door.

Like Neil said its 4 lanes wide + tarred road edges in some place, which probably makes it the widest piece of race track in Oz. Certainly wider than EC's main straight - makes for some amazing lines through the corners.

I used to have a Navara...its a TURBO Ford Courier now...i could fold over the actuator line and actually make some boost!

Neil im more than aware where the track is set out, a mate of mine is a regular racer there and being a Port Stephens boy its almost in my backyard.

Mate it's not that twisty,,,you start with 4 lanes and thats how at stays. You go through a left/right chicane up through a flat out left,,,flat out right and so on,,,I think I brake maybe 3-4 times,the hard bit is the last left because they narrow the road with withches hats to slow you down over the finish line. From memory I was clocked at 180 over the finish line in the sports sedan. Now thats quicker than most Skylines are going to be going only because I was on super wide sticky Avons.

But as you read at all tracks and in sup-regs "Motor Sport is Dangerous".
