Over near Adelaide Greg , A friend of mine has a lot of involvment in the classic adelaide rally + historical racing and stuff and invited me over for the weekend - was great day - Mount Comobine i think the place is called - purpose built hillclimb track .. Also went to The mallalla Historical racing meet - and watched xy Falcon Gt's flog the absolute PANTS off everything - there is NOTHING and i mean NOTHING that compares with the sound of a 351 GT falcon topping 230+kmh along a straight Re the Hillclimbs - and rotaries - the rotors didnt impress much to be honest - only ine series 2 RX7 with a turbo was up there with the likes of the mini's and cortinas in that class.. The EVo 6's were very impressive - and hammered up the hill but the Skyline r33 GTR was the one i wanted to see do the hhill - Instead it got light over a crest - and went thru two armco's onto the return road - a very costly weekend for that person ! The VW beetles were the most impressive as per previous post - How in the hell they got them to handle so well and go so hard ( they FLOGGED the rotor powered cars and lower class mini's and escorts ) amazed me .. In something like hillclimbs it seems power spread and power to ground is more important than over all revviness - ( hence why rotors didnt do good ) the 4agze's and 20 valves did very well - so any of you guys with worked sprinters that think they handle well should look into this sort of club event - IMHO a stripped 4agze/gte/20 valve Sprinter would hammer in this class of racing. Lots of fun too for the whole family and the only thing that can go wrong is you off the track - not run into another car or get taken out by anoher driver Giant tomato - Im going to make an effort to see when the MT leura climbs are on if your interested in saying gudday - Camperdowns only 25 mins drive from my house - might be a good idea for a cruise/racing meet if others are interested [Report message to a moderator]
