TIGHE CAMS HILLCLIMB, ROUND 3, Saturday & Sunday, 7 - 8 AUGUST, 2010

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.
