Default Hillclimb Anyone?

The WRX Club of Victoria run a few Motorsports events throughout the year.

They have one coming up at 'Haunted Hills' near Morwell, VIC (1.5 Hours out of Melbourne) on the 13th of Feb 2010.

Here's a clip

To compete all your need is club membership and a CAMS license (both very easy to get) and to enter its $85.

This is a great little circuit for RWD N/A cars and i think a 370 will easily be able to outperform the rest of the field

Im keen to enter!

Anyone else keen to come along, just even to watch?

have been there once awesome circuit

I am interested but I checked entry requirements and they don't seem good for me

I need fire extinguisher which I don't have

also I don't know whether my car would pass 75db limit at the required distance since I have HFC + Exhaust

Its 75dB(A) at 30 metres! So don't be worried about that one!

Fire Extinguisher is easy, i even have a spare one!

Mounting kit will be the tricky one, but if you really keen my mechanic can make one. So including a new extinguisher and a mounting kit, it will prob cost around $100 and can be easily removed for driving around daily.

Hmmm... well, this looks pretty interesting, I still can't bring myself to track this car I would have come to watch for sure, but I just realised my mate is coming down from Adelaide on the 12th till Sunday so won't be able to go....

Do you go to these often?

Yep Sure do.

Here is the calendar for this year:

February: Sat 13th @ Haunted Hills
March: Sat 13th TWILIGHT MEETING(4pm-11pm) @ Calder
April: Sunday 11th @ Phillip Island
June: Sunday 27th @ Sandown
July: Sat 24th @ Winton
August: Sunday 22nd @ Haunted Hills
October: Sat 9th @ Winton

But if you want something with less risk then the Skylines Australia MotorKhana's is for you. They do it in Shepparton at the DECA skidpan. You would have to be doing something really stupid to damage your car there!

Here is me in action:

The next MotorKhana is 20th March

It would be great to get some 370's out there!
