Tighe Cams Rd 3 produced some of the best competition ever seen at the
hillclimb in some of the best conditions. This combination produced many
new records with six people setting new records, some of them achieving
this more than once. Possibly happiest to set a new record was Rod Johns
who succeeded in breaking John Davies' long standing record for Formula
Libre cars up to 1300cc.
Success seemed to be eluding Rod until his last
run when he absolutely demolished John's record of 40.04s setting a new
record of 39.79 and taking the bonus of $500 for being the first person
this year to break a pre-2000 record. He was a bit fortunate as the other
person likely to take the money was Terry Johns (no relation to Rod) who on
three runs came as close as three hundreds of a second of breaking Vern
Hamilton's 1998 record for Sports cars up to 1300cc making it an extremely
close competition held in the spirit of true sportmanship.
In a weekend of superb driving, Michael Collins broke Mark Berry's record
of 43.08 and then broke his new record twice to finally set the record for
All Wheel Drive Forced Induction Cars at 42.35, the fastest time a sedan
has ever gone around the Mt Cotton hillclimb.
David Homer came close to emulating Michael's feat by breaking his own
record twice in the Closed sports cars 2001cc and over class leaving the
new record at 44.16s.

Others to break records were Giles Cooper (Marque sports 1601 to 2000cc)
who, in beating Norm Singleton's record of 47.01 set a new record of 46.96,
Neil Lewis who lowered his own record for Group N Up to 2000cc from 48.67
to 48.60 and Ken Graham (Improved Production 2001cc and over) who, with his
45.87 time, beat Danny Mischok's record of 46.01.
There were also many personal bests recorded, something not really expected
on a winter's day.
Bill Norman's race was against the clock to get to the hillclimb; he made
it in time to make one 'running in run' for his new engine and then did a
remarkable 41.05 on his only competition run just .36 off his Club record.
There was a close battle between Alan McConnell and Warwick Hutchinson for
Fastest Time of Day with Alan winning the day with a time of 39.36 from
Warwick's 39.60. Warwick 'levelled the score' by winning the Top Six with
Alan second, Paul Van Wijk third, Michael Collins 4th, Michael Ciccotelli
5th and Rod Johns 6th.
Most improved driver award went to newcomer Guy Nawratski.
Full report will be in the September
'Octagon'. Watch for Tighe Cams Series points to be updated on the Results
page as well; with all of these people breaking records, it is going to be
a very close competition this year.
