Toying with the idea of "racing"? at buladelah hill climb and was wondering what I need to have to be able to compete? Its just down the road and thought it might be a good first attempt at "beetle racing". I drive a 1300 72' standard beetle (swing axle) so I wont be out to set any records. Also a race date would be helpfull and exactly where the start and finish of the circuit is (for practice purposes) costs etc.?
cheers guys

If thats all I need then I've got that covered well and truly and should be a world beater.( LOL ) Seriously though apart from the genitalia what are the requirements?

You will most likely need to compete as part of a club which is affiliated with CAMS (confederation of Australian Motor Sport).
You will also need a fire extinguisher, secondary bonnet catch (just a belt around the handle and your bumper will be fine) and that should be about it.
Give CAMS a call and they'll hook you up with a club and all you'll need to get started. It will cost abit to begin with, club fees, CAMS license (which isnt tested at this level, just a membership style thing), fire ext, helmet, etc... But its well worth it since this sort of motor sport is heaps of fun and very rewarding imho.
