MT COTTON HILLCLIMB SERIES, Round 2, 2 - 3 April, 2022 

​

Over the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd of April hillclimb competitors gathered at Mt Cotton Hillclimb under sunny skies.  Over the two day of competition the competitors had 13 runs available to them. 
 

Regularity remains popular with Lindsay Derriman the winner from Flavio Paggiaro & Rob Martin.  New competitor in Mark Cunningham in his beautifully presented Morris Mini Van took out the Road Registered Sedan Cars - Up to 1600cc.  In the Road Registered Sedan Cars - 2001cc & over Phillip Rowen held off Matthew McGrath by 0.91 of a second.  In the Production sports Cars Class – 2001cc & over Dave Roberts was the victor.  His times are improving in his recently completed MG B V8, still a way to go (2.25 seconds) to catch Barry Evans (MGBGT V8) best of 47.59 seconds
 

Chris Beahan continues to improve in the MannPower Holden Special with a best time of 51.56 seconds, which is just 0.6 seconds outside the class record.  Jeremy Mattea visited the ‘nuts’ twice over the weekend in his Hyundai Excel which was having brake issues.  Thankfully the ‘nuts’ did their job and there was little damage to the car. 
 

Jeff Graham was a comfortable winner in his supercharged Mazda MX-5 in the Sports Cars - 2001cc & over class.  Brendan Parker in the Genesis GT380 Coupe also visited the ‘nuts’ in his last run for the weekend.
