i drove the bug to albany on the weekend to race at mt clarence hillclimb and round the houses regularitywhich is a re enactment of a historic motorsport event which the vintage sporting car club of WA holds every year.also on the monday speed event series held their event at mt clarence as well...because two organisations held evnets over the same weekend i chose th miss the wind farm hillclimb to do the regularity...on the way down a as hole cop slapped a yellow sticker "defect notice" on my car but the racing put a smile back on my dial..my camera spat the dummy for the regularity.so did not get any footage of this...so here is 2 quick vids...

Very cool 👍
That is one fast hill climb and nice high ratios. You could do Eastern Creek circuit with those ratios.
Nice wheel work too.

Nice one Chris.
It makes me nervous watching the scenery so close to the car at those speeds.
The engine sounds strong.

daimo, he put down cage, rolling diameter of wheels and also too low but it does not matter if he put 20 things down or 1 the whole car will be getting the going over at the pits...lucky for me one of the guys who was racing is also a manager at one of the ispection centers.but he cant get me over but he can help me get it rego'd as a race car hopefully.HOPEFULLY!
CT, the only bit that made me nervous was the last corner on the left was a telegraph pole with tyres round it and you will also see a change of of hot mix right at that corner...it absaloutly pissed down all night but still managed to have lots of grip....soft tyres next time....

Thought so Paul
Is it CAMS that knocked the cage, height etc. ?
Share some details to help other tragics if you don't mind
