Hillclimb Results Round 1 – Mt Cotton 2010

TIGHE CAMS HILLCLIMB, ROUND 1, 6 & 7th March 2010.

Despite the rainy weather the first round of the Tighe Cams series for 2010 started off well. All the competitors enjoyed 8 runs over the 2 days of competition. The track conditions after lots of rain over the weeks leading up the first round were not favorable making conditions wet and slippery but no major mishaps accrued over the week-end.

Darren Duffield in his RPV01 at Mt Cotton

Darren Duffield in his RPV01 was the fastest Rotary Hillclimb Racing Car around the track with the best timed run during the top 6 shootout of 43.05. During the off season Darren had changed the position of his intercooler to help with better air flow to keep the inlet air temperatures lower to allow for more power this is still a work in progress to be finished by the next round. He has more modifications planed but was running short of time to complete them all before this first Hillclimb. So keep an eye on Darren as he fine tunes the RPV01 to make it even more competitive over the 2010 Hillclimb season.

Jonh Moore Hi-Jinx Buggy Mt Cotton

The highlight of the weekend was John Moore placing his Hijinx Buggy in the top 6 shootout for the first time since running at Mt cotton and finishing 4th, keep up the good work and go the rotary’s!

The rotary hillclimb racing car (RPV02) of Warwick was absent for this round, as he had hurt his back the week before and was instructed by his doctor not to compete as this could further stress his lower disc and cause more damage. We hope that he gets better and is ready for round 2
