Wow! Two car related posts in a row!

Here's some in-car footage from the Grafton Hillclimb. It's a short, tight course about 3 hours south of the Gold Coast. They hold 4 or 5 of these each year. Heaps of fun! I set a new PB this trip, beating my old best time by about 5 seconds thanks to better tires and suspension.

Grafton Hillclimb

I attended the Grafton Sporting Car Club's hillclimb on the weekend for the first time. It was loads of fun, and the first time I had my car out on a track. I managed to get under 60 seconds which was my goal for the day but hope to be a lot closer to the Evo's next time. I headed down with some top blokes from EvoOz and made a weekend of it. I can't wait to go back with improved suspension and tires, I just need to develop the business case in order to get it past the Minister for Finance. I think I'll try the improved safety angle... You can see how tight and technical the track is below.
