Event: Legend Of The Lakes Hillclimb ''the best hillclimb in aus''

(One of the biggest hillclimb events in Australia!! over 130-140 Racers)

Its like the Eastern Creek Time Attack of the hillclimbs in Aus....litterally

When: 4-6 November 2011

(Entries open and close in approx 4 days once event is opened so read now or youl miss out!)

Where: Mount Gambier South Australia (no not Adelaide)

Who: The race attracts all different types of cars such as time attack, street cars, drifters, aussie cars, old school cars, rotary's...it basically caters for all hardcore enthusiast car racers...

How to Enter: On Wednesday July 13th Entry's open and within 4 days WILL BE FULL & OVERFLOWED IF NOT LESS (thats over 140 entrys in 4 days) so basically get your entry in Wednesday or miss out...visit SEAC

Cost: Last year was $200 and this year could be more....

Why: My name is Russell, I am a local of Mount Gambier that hosts the 2011 Legend Of The Lakes Hillclimb, This event is very fast becoming the top tarmac hillclimb in Australia starting in 2006 with 66 competitors to now rising to the ''caped'' 140 competitors this year in 2011.

The event is that red hot now that in 2010 within 4 days of the entries opening the event was filled and overflowed and thus entries closed with people all over Australia begging to get in...

The hillclimb is also one of the longest hillclimbs in australia boasting just over 1300 metres of track with speeds reaching over 180km/h to even 200km/h for the fast guys

I personally have entered this race in 2010, it is the most insane events iv ever ever done and it beats circuit work and other hillclimbs hands down....

If you have a track day car or even a fast street car, youl be stupid not to enter this event as it IS one of the best tracks YOUL ever drive...

This is a CAM's event and level 2 speed license is manditory!

Enjoy, I know I will :D

Are Supp Regs available for this event? Wouldn't mind giving it a go :thumbsup:

No idea, I think from memory last year the sup reg's got emailed to the competitors after they entered...

Looks good, shame about the distance :(

Its so worth the distance if your a competitor....driving doesnt get much better than this...going 180km/h on whats normally a 40km/h speed limited zone every other day of the year...:P

Is your name Russell too??? that is so awesome....good blokes them Russell fella's :P

It is very crazy, i entered my R32 GTR last year, and well I got up to 165k/h as I was too chicken to go any faster or put my foot down more as its pure madness and adrenaline rushing!

Ill be entering again this year in my Toyota Supra TT as my GTR from last year died

Thanks Russ. I do remember seeing supp regs for this event last year. I'll track them down as I want to find out eligibility and let you know mate, unless you've come across some for this year?

You'd be doing in the WRX I assume? If so don't worry about elegibility. Just enter.

This will sell out in days I've been told. I've got a way of getting entries in early so if you want to enter give me a call.

Ryan and I are going to be entering. For $150 or whatever it's crazy cheap.

Well that's what I'm tossing up at the moment :thumbsup:

Those few handbrake turns look a bit tight for it though, but it would be a heap of fun with some semi slicks on it and I dare say safer than the WRX too. I'll enter regardless and see what comes of it. Will give you a buzz Russ :)

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
