Huntley Hillclimb 19 Feb 2012

[YLD-16L]

Had the car full to the roof of stuff from our week away so the drive up wasn't timed

I think Huntley has tyre walls on a couple of sections? Will have to check the vids again.

It'll definitely need Armco on a couple of corners or people will understeer straight into power poles.

Just drove the Mt Gladstone road in Cooma, proposed road for their hillclimb course. It's about 1km long bottom to top, not very steep, quite open corners in the bottom 2/3 of the road and tightens up and gets a touch steeper in the last 1/3.

Surface will be slippery at speed and if you leave the road there is no run off anywhere at all. No sign of any work yet toward making it suitable to hold an event i.e. no tyre walls etc.

Looks like it should be good fun and it'll take some balls to drive it real quick.

Lol, I used to live up there.

Wasn't racing that road, but definately using the balls for something

And Huntly looks lame as...

I'm keen to try out King Edward park up in Newcastle though, looks wicked

Huntley certainly isnt lame if you have speed, a very tricky few corners. Two of the faster cars came back down the hill on trailers after big offs including a roll. I very nearly collected a tyre wall on my last run.
We got 6 runs in despite startimg at 11 and having 2 accidents. The last club round they got 11 runs!

I dont think I'll go back but definitely recommend giving it a go.
