Attn hillclimbers. NSW / Australian HC clash
Has there been any solution to the problem with the Australian being on the same day as King Edward? You would think a club involved with the series I
would have had some info, but I dont. Wondering if competitors are any better off.
I imagine MG car club wil be friggin spewin.

I'll be there so long as it doesn't cost me a state Championship....
One race is fantastic, and that is one awesome event, but 12 races for a title is more important.....
Surely, it wouldn't matter that it wa on a week or 2 later??

I think newcastle had their event in first, and then collingrove changed theirs, which they shouldnt have been allowed to do. I have no evidence of
that, just reading between the lines of stuff that I have seen.
Whos going to grafton? Long drive home of a sunday night.
Who's going to Raymond Terrace to brave the nasty noise meter?

This is what apppears in the Hilltorque magazine, the magazine of the NSW hillclimb panel. You can get the whole magazine download here -> hilltorque.pdf
The panel Is attempting to resolve the position of The 2005 Australian Championship, originally scheduled in Victoria, then being advertised in the
motoring press as in South Australia and on the same date as our final round ( Rd. 9 ) at King Edward Park, as soon as we have some form of resolution
we will let all know.

taking your own muffler isnt enough. 2 years ago they were knocking people out left right centre. Its in a natural valley so the noise echoes one side
to the other. You can be on one side racing away quietly, when someone on the other side does their warm up burnout above the noise limit and YOU get
sent home without recording a time. I know of a few people who boycotted the event last year because they got ripped off the year before. Perhaps its
been fixed.

those cars were just too noisy..
hundreds of competiters can manage to comply , a few can't seem to get the message.
I don't think Craig has any problems with noise

No, I dont think that is the case. I know of at least one car that was black flagged when another car was doing its burnout. You could see the guy
looking at the meter, and he black flagged when the car on track was backed off making little noise but the burnout was taking place. There's not
much doubt about that. I dont want to bag the club involved, I just think that on the day, whoever was manning the meter needed a little bit of
training in its use.
With the exception of Graeme Syphers escort (which may blow the meter to bits) I dont think any of the cars that competed at Huntley will have a
problem... if the meter is reading their car and not another. The disclaimer being that all cars are probably louder there due to the nature of the
track. Otherwise they would all be knocked out at canberra too.

The car in question was at that time too loud , pretty simple but he hasn't been up to Ringwood since , his choice but I think he did run KEP last
year and stayed under the noise limit when a few others did not and they were told to take em home.

I got some more info. Reliablity of it unsure. It was going to be at Arthurs Seat in Vic but the track isnt up to scratch. So the club decided they
would move it to Collingrove, had to change the day, nobody checked. Could also be the possibility that whoever normally runs collingrove isnt happy.
