HILLCLIMB RESULTS

PREVIOUS MEETINGS

Here are the hillclimb results for the last few meetings held by the MG Car Club of Queensland Inc. Check in the Previous Meetings column on the right, for our previous meetings, including photos.

Here also are the current point scores for the two hillclimb series being held this year. Due to the oversubscription of the Tighe Cams Series this year, a second series named the MGCCQ Mt Cotton Challenge Series has been introduced to cater for those who missed out on the Tighe Cams series. No more entries are being taken for either series.

QLD HILLCLIMB CHAMPIONSHIPS
Saturday - Sunday, 13-14 June, 2009
An ideal combination of a top quality field of competitors, a top quality venue in top condition and a top quality Winter Queenslandland weekend produced a weekend of top quality motorsport at Mt Cotton to remember for all the right reasons.

Highlight of the weekend was the battle between Alan McConnell (Qld) and Peter Gumley (NSW) for outright honours with Peter ultimately taking the title. Third outright was Tom Donovan (NSW). These were just three of the six drivers who produced sub-40s runs in front of a highly appreciative crowd. The others were Greg Ackland (NSW) who also broke John Davies long-standing record for Formula Libre up to 1300cc, Rod Johns who, to everyone's delight, produced his first sub-40s run and Doug Barry (NSW) having his first run at Mt Cotton in his recently-purchased Lola. Doug had a full Mt Cotton experience as he also had one run into the nuts.

Bill Norman had everyone keenly anticipating the sight of the first sports car to break the 40s barrier and came tantalisingly close on every run. Bill was the winner of the Glyn Scott Trophy for best performance by a sports car.

Mark Trenoweth was a worthy winner of the Vince Appleby Trophy for best sedan. For him, this brought back memories of his first runs at Mt Cotton 30 years ago in his E type Jaguar when Vince welcomed him to hillclimbing and gave him valuable advice which he still heeds.

Darren Harris won the Martin Tighe Trophy for best Fornula Ford, Alan McConnell won both the John English Trophy for Fastest time by a Queensland driver and the Paul Aitken Award for Motorcycle powered cars and Steve Purdy won the Hamilton Trophy for Best Performance by an Historic car by breaking the 7 year old record of Russell Crew for Class S in his MG Midget.

QLD HILLCLIMB CHAMPIONSHIPS
Saturday - Sunday, 13-14 June, 2009
A special prize for this QHC was presented by Ken and Pauline Graham called the Accurate Suspension Top Total for the driver with the best total time for all runs over the day. This, like the QHC title, was won by Peter Gumley by a 'smidgen' from Alan McConnell - a testament not only to their incredible times but also to their incredible consistency.

Other records were broken and these and full results will be posted here as soon as they are available.

Thanks go to Peter Dowling (State MP for Redlands), Melva Hobson (Mayor of Redland City Council), John English and Joan Appleby for coming especially to present trophies. Thanks also to Ann Thomson (representing Coral Scott) who presented the Glyn Scott Trophy after working on the timing all day, Dean Tighe who had been working as pit crew for wife Mandy all weekend and Vern Hamilton who had been working hard driving his Elfin. Thanks too to A Miles and Co for, as always, providing the Club with trophies of a quality to match their winners.

Special thanks to all the workers who contributed to making the weekend such an outstanding success -- the organising Committee, scrutineers, the pit and run organisers, starters and flaggies, timekeepers, sound monitors, parking organisers, canteen workers, trophy organisers, program compiler, security workers, Regalia sellers plus all of those who attend working bees (weekend and midweek) to ensure the venue is in top condition .... the list is long and probably not complete!
