It is about 100 klm from newcastle (about 60 to 70 minutes). So about 2 and 1/2 to 3 hrs from Sydney depending on where you are.nn[ Edited on 6/9/2005by bat69 ]

There should be about 5 or 6 beetles running. That includes me and my old man, greg ward and i believe three other newcastle locals who will all be
running in beetles (3J improved production under 2 litre).
I believe there are some very quick vw powered open wheelers who are also thinking of running too.nn[ Edited on 6/9/2005 by bat69 ]

If you're like me and you like corners you love to see those 35kmph corner approaching signs on the side of the road. I like to go though these
quickly but without going over or touching the lines and keeping the car just inside the speed limit which is usually 70 - 80 kmph.
The above mentioned hillclimb is brilliant. You get let loose on a series of about 4 or 5 of these corners and there's no speed limit, no other
traffic and you can use all the road.
The scary bits are the damp patches that haven't got sun due to the tree cover and the leaf litter. Both can catch you out. If they do don't worry,
there's guard rails and a rock wall to stop you!
That's the one hillclimb I'd do but my car has issues.
Have fun in the race for the title. I understand things are tight at the top.

Just a little. There is only a couple of points between 1st and 3rd.
Cant wait to get the beetle out for this. Its the type of event you just hold open the throttle and let the big dog eat.

The dubbers will be running all day at various times. They split the group up into two lots. They run the 1st group then break to bring them back down
the hill then they run the 2nd.

Yeah thankfully Colin is OK, not sure of which corner but might have been the last right hander. The beautiful black VW is s sorry sight. A clubman
also hit the Armco at the corner prior and went home missing corners of the car.
It was a slow day with only 3 runs.

Unfortunately Colin had a MASSIVE prang (at the fastest part of the hill) as you can by the photos. Hopefully we’ll see Colin back on the track
again some time soon. The good news was beetles filled the first 3 places for state registered competors for imp production 3J club cars (1601-200cc)
which was good to see.nn[ Edited on 19/9/2005 by bat69 ]

Hard luck Colin.
I'm Glad Colin is okay. That wouldn've been a scary accident.
It's a great looking car and really well turned out. It also has a good engine that makes the numbers. There's a lot of work in that car.
I hope the damage isn't too bad and Colin gets it back on the track soon.
Who won, and who got the places?

Hi,
Had a good talk with Colin on the phone and apart from feeling sore and some glass cuts to one of his hands he is not in too bad a shape. I guess
that shows the importance of safety gear properly fitted to your race car.
Aparently an official said that the car rolled end to end and then over 3 times. Colin had it wound up to 6000 in top gear so was probably going
around 130 - 140 when it happened. One lucky boy.
The car is a wreck, the engine and box appear ok although one of the ida`s took a hit and broke a manifold. The rest of the stuff is mainly bent
or twisted. He is going to strip it down and check each piece as he takes it off.
At the moment he is building a new house so the car will sit for a while. But he will go again, so if anyones got a 71,72 super roller lying
around let us know. The next one will be better again = more power.
Keith.

Rebuild
End over end! That's frightening. He's lucky his arm didn't fly out the windo and get crushed because there's no window net.
I don't have a Superbug but I'd be happy to contribute a few things for the rebuild.
I've got some cookie cutter wheels, engine tin, lights and assorted bits and bobs. If he puts a list on the forum I can see what I can dig up and
some others might too.
Thanks for the update Keith.

Who won, and who got the places?
|
Class placings for the vw beetles were:
Improved production 3J 1601-2000cc
1st Nathan ABBOTT: 36.5 (1st state registered competitor)
4th Colin MAYMAN: 37.7 (2nd state registered competitor)
5th Greg WARD: 37.8 (3rd state registered competitor)
7th John ABBOTT: 41.3 (5th state registered competitor)
Pete (speedster356) also had a pretty good day as well finshing with some good times in his class. I believe Peter Gumley in his vw powered open
wheeler won the event.

dont want to be a bummer but will the win count? Regs say that there has to be a minimum of 4 timed runs.
Its poor form that the club concerned didnt take the NSWHCC competitors interests at heart and stop the non registered from running while the
registered did their minimum. People invest a lot of money into a championship. One of our guys travelled 700kms round trip and paid $1.20 per second
track time.

Well the same situation occurred on the Bathurst round of March 19. There were 93 starters, only 3 timed runs, and the day was finished by 3 0'clock.
There were rumblings along the same lines as Amazer mentioned above however nothing to my knowledge has happened and the points and positions still
stand for all competitors.
