Hillclimb Racing 2014

[journeyman racer]

I wish there was the long course, European style hillclimbs in Australia. And F1/motorsport fans go on about Spa, Bathurst, Laguna Seca etc.? They're 6/10 compared to the hillclimb courses in Europe. I'm envious of the competitors and spectators.

First hillclimb of the year on Sunday and I was trying a bit hard for my skill level. Big lock up, plenty of panic and a trip to the bushes. Thankfully only a bit of welding and some fibreglass touch ups. Very much in the "lucky" column, probably hitting 90mph for the braking zone and could quite easily have hit something a bit more solid.
