Congratulations Heath Campbell.
A big congrats to Heath Campbell for winning the NSW Hillclimb Championship, for Improved Production 1601-2000cc class.
Heath drove the wheels of his mighty Beetle this year breaking records along the way. Allthough myself and others tryed hard, Heath dominated the
class with some great drives.
Here are a few other highlights from my personal thoughts.
Drive of the year,
There were a few outstanding efforts but one stood out for me, Heath in the rain at Grafton, to acheive 3rd outright was amazing.
Shit Stirrer of the year,
Easy, Christine Campbell.
Best sounding Beetle,
Again very easy decision , Greg Wards car, full noise headind up through the tree,s at Cooperabung Hillclimb.
Funniest moment of the year,
Glenn Torrens at Cooperabung Hillclimb, pissed as, laying in the boot of his Beetle watching our camp fire.
Best Event,
Hard to go past racing at Bathurst.
Best Presented Car,
I think i,d have to go close?
With Nathan Abbott racing next year i hope to be able to report the results of at least 5 Beetles in the Hillclimb series.
I had a absolute ball racing with the guys and gal, and hope to go that little bit faster at each venue next year.
Cheers Col

Heath finished with 91 points to win the class and myself 72 points to take out 2nd in class.
Heath also managed 4th in the tin top points and myself 6th.
I reckon thats a big acheivement considering the quality of cars we race against.
Bring on next years racing!
Cheers Col

Not sure if Ben actually builds Heath,s engines, but he does help Heath with ideas and dyno tuning. They have both done a lot of developing with
Heaths motor combo, which shows on the track.

There were 9 competitors in our class this year.
Including Datsun 1600,s Datson 1200,s and a Honda.
The 1600,s have heaps more hp than the Beetles but we out handle and i,d like to think out drive them.
Cheers Col
