anyone going to the grafton hillclimb in may?

i hope to have my new injected buggy motor in by then & plan to rip down there for the may-day holiday hillclimb, be good to catch up with some of you other hillclimb nuts :-)

cheers
Matt

I wont be there in May but I will be there on the June long weekend. As too will a few other hill climbers.

Hi Matt I will have a go but I am only havin a skid and a giggle, have been wanting to do an autocross up at Ipswich though, can you tell me how rough(smooth) the track is. Cheers Jukka

hey Jukka, the autocross at Willowbank is generally smooth as a babys bottom,,, my buggy is about 2 inches off the ground & it really is fun

fastest time of the day outright this run,,,, but you may want to scroll through to about 1min50secs for the start of the it,,, there was a slight delay

Hey Matt that buggy goes round there like its on rails. Are you using frontwheel drive? love the Stanley gearshifter. A mate of mine has a mini I am trying to talk him into having a run at Grafton. I think he's a bit worried my ute might beat his mini. Will definately do a trip up to willowbank, do they do practice days been a while since I done it in the dirt. Jukka

yeah i know :-) I`m damn fast , Just ask me :-)

front wheel drive,,, yamaha R1 bike engine

not sure about practice days,,, they used to about 10 years ago,,,, you can contact them at the Ipswich West-Moreton Auto Club on the net (IWMAC)

there`s an autocross on tomorrow (20th) but it might be a bit wet

Did you run in the autocross? I did a hillclimb at Kempsey, brought the rain in again hope they dont ban me everywhere I go to have a run it seems to rain. Oh well may is the dry season so we should be right for mt view. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXscjmTYvmE 

nah, they canned it because of the rain

i haven`t been to kempsey hillclimb yet, mybe after Grafton i`ll set-up to go there
cheers, good vid
Matt

When is the next Autocross at Pillowbank Matt?

Might actually be ready this time!

I`m sure they normally have at least one a month, maybe 2 with the WRX club running one a month too,,, i think

Well I'm up for a blast in the baja. I'll have to check it out

Hi Matt you still coming to grafton? I did my first dirt track on the weekend best fun I ever had on four wheels. Strapped my phone to the mirror again and took this footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCsogZbYOJ0 

Hey Type3ute, i`m in Byron atm, got a few weeks off & surfing is number one time-out fun (after racing off course)

i`m on a sh!tty borrowed laptop atm so i cant view your vid, but i will as soon as i`m back home

& no, i won`t be making the Grafton Hillclimb this month, still have the wiring & the cables & the fuel system to finish off on the buggy, so maybe next month if time permits, but at least we`re getting some progress on the thing, slowly but surely,,, just that the surf has been really good here, nice neat tidy consistant 3 to 4ft swell with 5 to 6 ft sets steaming on through every ten mins or so,,, the weather has been absolutely fantastic,,, it`s sooooo nice here right now

but of course obviously now that i`ve said that the surf will drop off to a dribble ripple & the weather will most certainly turn to shit :-)

i really can`t wait to get back home & work on the buggy tho,,, hanging to finish the thing & feel another 30 hp :-)

really keen to get back to Lakeside too,,, HANGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:-)

Better get home and finish the buggy. Grafton is holding a State round on June longweekend, practice Saturday 12 till 4pm, camping available Sat night then racing Sunday. State registered competitors get first preference but they told me on the weekend there will be plenty of spots left for the rest of us. See ya there.

yeah we are looking at that one too

What are you going to run Damien. Id love to see the notch in full flight.

hopin for notch yeah

Full flight...always! Lol
