TIGHE CAMS HILLCLIMB, ROUND 1, Sunday, 15 March, 2009
The Tighe Cams series has proved so popular that the first round attracted about 30 more entries than were able to be accommodated in the series and in the first round so while there were 110 happy competitors there were also a large number of disappointed ones.

Good pit organisation by Gary Goulding had everyone well positioned ready for the 8.30 start; good weather (though somewhat hot) and a lack of ontrack dramas enabled everyone to get their four runs which were followed by the Top Six competition.

Highlights of the day were runs by Rod Johns which had him tantalisingly close to breaking the magic 40s mark and the breaking of three records, one by Steve Price (Westfield) who broke his own record, one by Geoff Noble in his Lotus Elise (shattering Norm Singleton's previous record) and the other by Mark Trenoweth (Jaguar sports sedan) who broke a pre-2000 record thus collecting the prize of $500 which had been offered by the Club for the first person to achieve this. Mark generously donated the money back to the Club as sponsorship for the Queensland Hillclimb Championships in June
