cancel that, foudn the results here: http://blcc.com.au/dmdocuments/results010308.pdf

great work from stuart, 5th overall (first tin top) in a very tough field. just goes to show the 4wds are very hard to beat in a short event with a standing start. Looks like Neil had a tough day in formula libre, doesn't look like the right class for that car to me.

And well done to Peter Gumley, another overall win with combined 63.54

Can't see Michelle in the results, was there some problem or am I blind?

Those results are for March NSW Hillclimb, not the Australian Championships - Australian results weren't up last time I looked.

Raps, thank you for your help on the weekend. A big thank you to Neil who really was a great help on Thursday and Friday until my pit crew turned up Friday night.

I understand there were approx 134 entries.

Outright winners were

1st Gary West 21.73

2nd Andrew Howell 22.11

3rd Peter Gumley 22.33

Outright Ladies

1st Michele Guyer 26.81

2nd Amy Mrcela 29.66

3rd Mandy Tighe 32.03

Neil was put into Formula Libre 751-1300cc under protest (because he isn't an open wheeler) and came second with a time of 29.00

Michele came 16th overall

Neil came 29th :P

I will try to get some photos up for everyone, it was a fabulous weekend... I didn't want it to end. Makes me look forward to speed weekend even more now. I'll probably camp at McPhillamy Park.

Cling wrap works a treat :laugh:

Neil cried like a baby when he saw the ol' Capri :P

yeh, those pics really give you an idea how steep it really is,, hence hill-climb. :P

Its hard to capture "steep" in a photograph, but these do it pretty well. Thats why I chose them... what a spectacular backdrop!!!

I liked the row of tyres in the first pick :)

    • After throttle body? I’ve heard that you should not do that. Even if you look at the diagrams they show you that you should take boost from turbo.
    • What do you mean with ”hot side”?  From what I’ve heard is that you should take it as close to the turbo as possible? 
    • Like on the intercooler pipe between turbo and intercooler?  Still weird why they don’t put an output on the turbo since you will need one. There is one for the RPM of the turbo..  are they doing this because they want you to take the boost reference from somewhere else except the turbo?
    • That wouldn’t work especially well? 🤔
    • Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov
