Wheezy Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I had a great day although rain for the first time I have driven a car in 7 months was a kick in the face! Had traction issues all day (excuses) so I ran gate pressure all day and was a fairy with the throttle (You think a Trust setup sounds good, it was nothing compared to when they are on full song!) as there was no point trying to put down all of my power. I will be back for a dry run and try to take off at least 10 seconds.

cazz Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Once again awesome day, and the photo's from you guys show just how awful the conditions were. Forgot to say big thanks to Copnis for his help on the start grid, you were out there in the rain for ages, doing a great job. Thanks heaps. Official results are below, and even though Brent is the Motorsport secretary for CSA, we are not going to let him race any more, in the true Australian motor sport tradition, we are banning him. Anyone who is fearless enough to go out in that weather in a Fiesta XR4 and win is a nutcase hehe. Well done everyone, only a couple of harmless spins and no bent cars in what was very slippery conditions. Anyway Official results below as promised.

MUZT3K Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 i have a silly question, why do some people tape their headlights? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/257208-csa-hillclimb-haunted-hills-gippsland/page/2/#findComment-4627328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazz Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Have to tape glass headlights, so that if they break, the glass doesn't fall out onto the track. Just a precaution. We all got heaps of runs TETS, was fantastic. We are hoping for another one very early next year, so stay tuned.

shanec86 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 you need to tape them up if you have glass headlights, less chance of them shattering everywhere if they get hit by a rock or crack etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/257208-csa-hillclimb-haunted-hills-gippsland/page/2/#findComment-4627387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russman Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Looks like a fun day in the wet. I was there on the sunday and it had dryed up by then. Anyone have more details about that R31 GTSR? is it genuine? There are a few things on it that make me think it used to be my old car. Also which car is Paul Milvains? I work for the same company but haven't heard much about his 31. Also I laughed when I saw the camry badge on the Chaser haha.
