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 :)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
