TIGHE CAMS HILLCLIMB, ROUND 2, 2nd & 3rd April 2011
The second round of the Series was run under changing weather conditions, with a generally fine Saturday and a slight shower early on Sunday this made the changing track conditions a challenge for all of the 93 competitors that had entered this round.
The weather aside we had 8 runs over the 2 days, plus the top six shootout.
It was also good to see Cameron Hurman back running his Mazda RX7 after missing round 1.
Cameron ran all 8 runs. He started at 53.79sec for the first run on Saturday down to his best time for the weekend which was on the very last run on Sunday with a time of 50.26 sec.
