Haunted Hills - Sun 22 Aug 2010

[Russman]

Yeah was no fun in the wet. Still yet to do a dry day there.

Who else is going? I'm still not entered.

[ssxRicho]

Weather is going to be good on sunday, so I'm there.

If not in the skyline, in something else. It's only $85...but just looked at the entry list though.

WTF 58 cars!!!

They better run multiple cars at once.

[sledgy]

I'm entered. The sup regs says cars will be released onto the track in intervals of no less than 30seconds. Which basically means no they'll only allow the next car to start when the previous car has just about finished. So guessing maybe 5 to 6 runs at best depending on how many bail after lunch

[phunky_monkey]

I'll be there Russ. Greg is the S13 and Sam in the white Evo 6 from DECA are also entered.

[MacGillaZ]

When CSA were down there last time, the 2nd car was released once the first car had passed the timing mark on the back straight, ran quite well until someone went off the track ...

Sif not being fun in the wet, meant us little tackers (sub 150kw) could easily compete with the big boys (+250kw)

[barney]

im entered

according to the forcast it should be a good day, i just hope it stays that way.

[Downforce]

lol.. 58 cars... average about 40sec per car, since the next car gets into staging while the last car is still finishing his/her lap = ~38minute wait between runs if they cycle back to back.

[sledgy]

Entries have closed people! 65 entrants! Whethers looks to be ok. Should b a fun day! Russ did you enter?

[Russman]

Entries have closed people!

Looks like I've missed out...

[xtermin8or]

Can any one tell me the address or directions on getting there???

[phunky_monkey]

Jump on the Monash/Princess High/Freeway and head east. Moe is ~1.25 hours from the eastern parts of Melbourne

The first exit for Moe has the McDonalds there, easy to see. You do not need to take this exit unless you want some food

You need to take the next exit which is the Newborough/Yallourn North one (it is ~5kms from the first Moe exit above)

Turn left at the stop sign at the top of the exit

You will come to a set of lights, go straight here (if you need fuel, there is a BP on the left before you get to the lights)

Turn right at the next set of lights (which are ~1.5kms from the last set)

Turn left at the roundabout (~400m from the last set of lights)

Turn right into Coach Rd (~400m from the roundabout)

Go up a nice big hill ~1kms and turn right into Bill Schulz Dr

And the hill climb is on the left ~400m

Looks like I've missed out...

Weak Russ...very weak

[Russman]

Weak Russ...very weak

Yeah. Too slow.

[Belsil80]

So how did people go?

[NismoR31Jet]

Not bad. Only got 4 timed runs on the clockwise track, best I did was a 64.01

Gotta stop being scared and start giving it to it!

[sledgy]

Yeah but you don't want to try and give it as much as I did through corner 3!

Managed a 67.5 which I'm happy with given

never been there before and the issues I'm having with my diff!

Fun track but deadly if your not spot on the whole way around!

[some_cs_student]

I was way off time. I think around 75 and 82seconds. That said I still had fun, and I was happy to not be one of the 3 cars who did get damaged.

Only one looked fairly serious.

And that car that got unlucky and hit by a flying marquee

Oooo... What cars? Hopefully just WRX's.

i had a great time at HH, first time at the track as a driver, and we were lucky with the weather all day.

i'm not sure about the majority of people, but the minority that i spoke to thought the track was super slippery, the wind was freezing.

it's s tight technical track, that shows weakness in a cars handling very easily.

i found i couldn't attack the straight track as much as i would have liked to as the car was squirming all over the place, and with 0 run off you have to be on the ball 110% of the time.

i managed a 62.something on my last run of the straight track, but would have liked another 1-2 shots at the straight track because i was only just working out which side of the track i should be on at which point, and how hard to push it over the blind crests...

the figure of 8 was a lot more fun for me, i felt the grip levels had improved, and my car preferred the way the track flowed on the figure of 8, better camber through a few of the corners, i think i finished with a 69 something on the figure of 8.

the evo's, sti's and gtr ruled the day though, along with some very quick little mx-5's...

bad luck to the few that had "offs" it really isn't a forgiving place to push it 110% and not pull it off.

russ, casualties were evo x, and a couple of wrx's

for me, a good starting point to build from and i'll definitely be back.

if people spot links to picture galleries on other forums post them up here!

[sledgy]

Sorry not all casualties were WRX!

1x EVO 10 LH Front into wall at turn 3.

1x WRX mega smash of LH Front & LH front door at "Oh Sh*t"

1x R32 GTSt LH rear at turn 3 - see below!!!!!!

Here you can see the evidence of the trouble a few of us had at corner 3!
