Grafton Hilclimb
colin - June 7th, 2010 at 08:19 PM

This weekend June 13th Grafton Sporting Car Club is hosting round 5 of the NSW Hillclimb at there Mountview Complex just North of Grafton.
I will be competing as well as Glenn Torrens and i,m sure Heath Campbell will be there with his beetle.
Grafton is a great little track, tight and rewards drivers with a well setup car that will stop and turn without the dreaded understeer.
Grafton is without doubt the best spectator track as you can stand in the one stop and watch the hole run of the cars.
See you there.

Cheers Col

have a great weekend up at Grafton this weekend guys . It is a great little track and spectacular to watch . I wont make it this weekend due to customer commitments and I also drove past the track last night on my way back from Lismore . Signage is already posted to let the locals know that the event is on.

Did anyone go to the track to watch the lady bug race :?:

Lady bug?,
are you refering to Christine Campbell?.
If so she drove very well.
I don,t have any times of all those that competed, but i think Heath and Christine recorded the times we all ran.
Maybe thay can chime in and share the results.

Cheers Col

PS Heath did break the record, congrats Heath.

Is it the car or Christine you call Lady Bug????????

Results were tight as per normal.........places changed with each run

Heath - 51.10 .........lowered Christines record by 0.21..........8 class records were broken on the day
Christine - 51.63
Steve(escort) - 52.10
Col - 52.??

Peter Gumley - 43.03 only 0.01 slower than his own record. On this run he put a rod through the block 20m short of the finish........he would have lowered the record for sure with all cyclinders pushing him across the line.

An great social weekend, always a good event.

Col - I saw you Mum active with the camera again............do you have any good footage to post?

colin - June 14th, 2010 at 08:45 PM

Heath,
Yes mum took some footage and photo,s of the day.
She is in Toowoomba but i,ll post something up asap.
BTW i ran a best of 52.18 from memory, can,t remember Glen,s best but he improved with every run and as all of us had a absolute ball.
Another great weekend of beetle racing.

Cheers Col
