[VIC] PFA HH 2018.2 social hillclimb


Recommended Posts

Hey guys. Unfortunately I can’t get down there in time to participate as I’ll be getting home from holidays at 2am Sunday morning. Hoping to come down and say hi later in the day but if I don’t make it, have an awesome day. It’s a crazy little track that will put a big grin on your face.

Chicken Parma’s all consumed and everyone tucked up in bed, cos none of us can work out what daylight savings means and what time we’re getting up.... set the alarm and hope for the best! ???‍♂️?‍♂️

Well done to the organizers. We dropped in for a look and lunch. Everyone was having a fantastic time and it’s a great place. Couldn’t get a better day weather wise.

nice to catch up with everyone and hope you got home safely.

Great day thanks Kerry, Hugh and Mark for organising and the effort and instruction. Nice to meet a few new friends:Beer:. The weather Gods did their bit, the Coxster performed well on it's first shakeout, and the chicken parmas are huge at the Moe RSL! Just a few photos and I'll leave the proper ones to the professionals...

Amazing day guys . Thanks so much to everyone at PFA & those behind the scenes that put the day together . Fantastic facility and great members really made this my favourite event I have done with the car.  Cant wait for the next one !

Thanks to all involved who put the day on!

Great day weather wise, fabulous people and always good to put some faces to names. I'm very grateful that the car stopped before hitting the wall = yep, those skid marks after the second turn were mine (don't worry there were other marks elsewhere?)

Great photos as always @Simonk and a BIG shout out to @Pork Chops & @9fan for taking me on a hot lap and showing me how to drive a P car 'properly' ?

Awesome day at PFA HH2 on the hill yesterday! ?️

Have to say it was great to get the old helmet back on after quite a few years - was it always that tight?! ? Great to give IGY a bloody good jab in the ribs around that fabulously technical track (nice souvenir shot above cheers @Troubleshooter). Whoever designed that course really did a fantastic job - every corner/camber/entry/exit different; every blind crest a massive breath held; every return to the carpark such a gratifying release/relief; and then a buzzing anticipation for the next run! 

Big thanks to @hugh for organising the vast majority of this day enabling me to retire the clipboard and get back amongst the fun. Thanks to H for also not squishing that poor bunny who just wanted to stake his claim to the post "OH SHIT" corner! ???

Thanks to @9fan for his usual "clark of course" stewardship and intimate knowledge of the track, ? mate! And thanks to @Mike737 for his scrutineering! ?

Cheers to @MOTOR PROJECT Julian Gries Jules, Joe, Joe and Simon for a serious amount of filming work done at all hours of the day/night - really can't wait to be involved in getting that video up and out on youtube for all to see. Some of the glimpses I caught on the back of cameras really looked awesome!

Big thanks also to Gippsland Car Club - Helen and her staff in the canteen, and Fred behind the timing-room controls, for their flexible and generous attitudes - it made the few hiccups we had disappear like the fog that swept through at 8am! Cheers also to Bryce the Ambo who thankfully none of us needed to see! ?

I've got a request in for another date in March or April so will keep everyone updated through this thread, and a new poster on the homepage as well when confirmed.

And last but not least, thanks to all those that attended as drivers, support crew, or simply onlookers (cheers for the hugs Toby!). As is the growing tradition of these social days, I don't think a more chilled or relaxing motorsport event can be found anywhere! ??️?

Thanks for a great day out PFA, special thanks to Kerry, Hugh, Mark and Mike for their efforts in putting it together and running the day (thanks for the driver instruction @9fan).

What a fantastic course, I've never driven anything with so much undulation and blind crests. An excellent day with great people and beautiful cars, nice to meet some new faces. 

Of course, always relieved to get home with driver and car in one piece. Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for the photos @Simonk

Thanks Mark, good to see you again too.

Zara had a blast on the lap with you, it's just a pity that she now knows how slow my laps are!!!

What a day.  What a track/course.

The Bryant Park Hillclimb track is such a joy to drive.  Blind corners, off camber corners, crests and dips with changes to elevation then can never be truly communicated unless you are in the seat.  It is full on with no time to rest.  

Thanks Kerry for putting on the event.  Thanks also to Mark, Hugh and Mike.

Thanks guys for all of your efforts and hard work organising the day and making things run safe and smooth

Cheers to everyone for being patient and respectful to each other, pretty rare you get together so many like minded enthusiasts with fast cars who have that much respect for each other with zero incidents or dickhead moments
