Hillclimb at Ringwood (just North of Raymond Terrace) 9th April

(1/6) > >>

metalhead:
There's a hillclimb hosted by the Newcastle MG Car Club at Ringwood (hillclimb track just off the Pacific Highway on Italia Rd, ~10 minutes North of Raymond Terrace) on this Sunday. Wide range of entries, open wheelers, sports cars, sedans. I've entered in my Vette, but don't expect to be overly competitive as it's only the second event I've driven the car in, and the first at Ringwood. Online entries have closed, but entries will be available on the day, or just come and spectate, it's a good spectator track as you can see basically the whole track at once. If anyone does come, feel free to come and say hello.

On again this Sunday, 28th May.

Vettech:
Got any pics, do you need a helmut, maybe I should not ask for pics as I cant seem to get mine up onto v forum !?!?!

metalhead:
Need a Helmet, neck to wrist to ankle cotton or other fireproof clothing (I wear a long sleeve shirt and jeans or cargo pants), and a fire extinguisher in a metal bracket within reach of driver (available from all auto stores, most hardwares etc). Have to attach a blue triangle to mark battery location, and some numbers (both can be made from tape if needed). You do need to be a member of a CAMS accredited club and have a CAMS L2S license, but I expect this can probably be arranged on the day if needed (contact the organizers I guess). Event information/entry forms are here: http://www.mgcarclub.com.au/event/hillclimb-a5-2/ or you can enter online via CAMS MEE if you already have a CAMS license/login etc.

Here are the track layouts: https://www.mgcarclub.com.au/club-info/ringwood/tracks-2/

Here's a couple of vids of me running the A4 track layout last month (this week's event is on the A5 layout). Excuse my slightly sloppy driving, I'm still getting the hang of the car, this was the first time I really competed in it. These are both of my 3rd run for the day, I didn't get any video of my 4th run which was over a second quicker.

In car:



My wife took this on her phone from the spectator viewing area on the opposite hill. You can also get up around the top loop of the track to watch from there.:



It's a tight little track, but tons of fun!

Vettech:
That's excellent.
