yo!

so im retiring from door to door racing this year (ha, as if I ever had a career in it!!) and Im only going to be doing a handful of small club rounds due to a few personal reasons.

Im giving Huntley Hill climb a go on Feb the 2nd, anyone here done it? Neil - i am looking at you!!

havent had a chance to search youtube for vids but yeah - if anyone has a link to their own post away!

Im thinking it should be fairly fun in the MX5

I've had two cracks at it, its HEAPS of fun.

Doing it in an MX5, you should almost be able to hold it flat through the "Y" section. There is so much time to be had from there to the left hander at the top control tower.

Neil should be able to give you some tips on the best way to get up Huntley.

Clinton and I have been going to do it for a while but there are a few difficult turns half way up and there are no run off areas if you come undone. It would be easier in the MX5 because you would be more concerned with being smooth and maintaining mid corner speed instead of our point and shoot approach.

It is usually a good event - depending on what we have on we may call down and say hello.

Nah I don't Chris. I know Deano has an incar, but I can't find it on Youtoob!

Best to stay right to the end as a lot of the guys seem to pack up after 2ish. The last hour is run after run. On average I'd say you'd get 12-15 runs if enough people leave/stack/break cars.

Sorry Chris,,,didn't see this thread. I've done Huntley heaps of times,,,it's a great climb and I'm actually a club member now.

Dangerous,,,indeed,,,but If motorsport didn't have an element of danger then it would be boring wouldn't it.

Mate it's a cool old track that has had some upgrades after a gent got out of his comfort zone and passed away.

I have heaps of vids but have never bothered posting them up,,,my best advice is drive up there and just walk it and and then drive it in your road car,,,it's just an old road up into the mines thats open to the public. Start and finish lines are perminately marked so that bits easy,,,just be careful of thrashing up there because the residents will call the cops. There is a tree root sticking out slightly at the Y which you need not to hit,,,but the rest of it is fantastic.

Feb 2nd is a multicar club day,,,might see if I can run the oh so slow Skyline up there as well.

Cheers

Neil.

No way buddy,,,mountain straight is way more challenging tiger,,, just that 1st right-hander at speed is sphincter gripping stuff,,,the rest of it is fanbloodytastic.

Huntley is totally different,,,like every hillclimb they are all unique.

Have I told you lately Jase you are a beautiful hunk of manhood.

Cheers

Neil.

Hey bud, im thinking of entering, but a bit confused as to how.

Do i just print out the entry form, fill it out/sign it and send them the file together with my payment receipt?

What email do i send to, im blind, cant seem to see which email to send the entry form to!

Is the scrutineer on the day at Huntley?

Would you say i would be classed as SVM? (jza80 supra, single turbo etc etc).

Appreciate the help and from anyone else that knows

cheers

hey mazman,

I printed it out, signed and then did the online bank transfer and I think its the sup regs, the event sec's email is there, I just emailed it to him and in the email saying I hope this is the correct way! I also took a screen shot of my bank transfer for proof of payment as they wont accept entries without payment or proof of payment.

as far as I know the scruitineer is there on the day.

yep, SVM and 3001cc + I would say.

Sweet!!

last time I clicked that (2 days ago) it had the previous event so all good

yay im in!

I gave my car trailer a slight service last night, regreased all bearings and tighten brakes.

now to get that rego'd and Im all good.

Car is sleeping in car hole waiting patiently!

I just noticed they mention padding for roll cages.

now my car has been fitted with padding since 2009 when it was log booked as a 2F prod sports car - anyone know if that will still be fine?

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
