Today Tamworth Sporting Car Club hosted round 6 of the NSW Hillclimb championship
The weather really played along with a cold 1 degree start to the day followed by top of 19 degrees and perfect sunny skys.
With my 499 car getting a engine rebuild i won,t be competing for the rest of the year, but Glen Torrens very generously offered to double enter his car with me which i took up the offer.
After 2 runs i was leading the class and asked a steward to stop the event馃槀. Unfortunatly my request was declined and we all had 6 runs for the day.
Final times were as follows

1st Aaron Osborne (Datto) 36.76 secs
2nd Col Mayman 38.14 secs
3rd Glen Torrens 38.15 secs
4th Adrian Peck (Datto) 38.54 secs

It is a real testament to Glen and his car that i was able to slot straight into his car and be completely comfortable with his setup and drive the car so easily.
It really is a easy car to drive, and i was amazed how good the brake package worked which Glen designed and sells to other dubbers. If your thinking of upgrading your brake performance look no further than Glens packages 馃憤
Thanks for the drive Glen, your car was bullet proof even with double the runs for the day it never missed a beat馃憤

Cheers Col

I passed him in Muscwellbrook - I was on my way back to Inverell from Bugs & Busses by the Bay.

I passed a lot of other hillclimb cars as well - I wondered if it had been the Tamworth hillclimb.

Sounds like the package is well behaved Glen. Congrats.

Yes, that's a bit naughty, Col.馃槀 At least Big Rudi did the right thing at Wakefied, when he drove my car.

Shows how well the car is set up, when another driver can hop in and be that close. Well done X 2.

Great effort Col and Glen, nearly knocked both those pesky dattos off their perch.

Cruel bastard!

Beating Glen in his own car. You only had to lift a fraction!

You're not driving mine then!
