Kempsey Sporting Car Club will host Round 2 of the Hillclimb series on the 15th of April. After Bathurst was postponed due to the floods this will be the first round for many of the racers including myself and Glen. I have received a full list of competitors and Glen and i are the only Beetles racing at this event, hopefully the weather will be warm and sunny. Here,s a photo from last year, the racing is only half the fun! Cheers Col

Okay Jak you caught me out!

The reason my name is crooked is because when Glen and i camp at the events the night before we have a few beers.

Then before i crash in bed i usually check the car, now because i,m walking, no, stumbling in the dark, it,s easier to tilt my head less and read my name. 😂😂

Waiting for our turn near the start line, a nervous wait sometimes.

I can,t really give a honest comparison as when the fk87 was in i never ran an event and my comp ratio was lower.
I beleive however the Pauter cam i have now is a good choice.
Bum dyno thinks i have picked up mid range torque.

The car sounds crisp despite me having your ida jets in my toolbox. Are you picking a fight with the tall bloke in the shot above; or has he just been beaten by a beetle? He looks mad.
