BRYANT PARK HILLCLIMB,
HAUNTED HILLS VIC
he SA contingent headed off to Moe
in Victoria at various times with
some leaving earlier to visit relatives, but
a few of us made a mad dash on the
Friday which was probably not the best
option in hindsight. Striking the holiday
traffic heading out of Melbourne was a
nightmare – how can you be stationary
on a freeway?? 12 hours to our destina-
tion!!
On Friday night, most of the SAs were
able to meet up for a quick pub meal
next to the motel, and retired early to
prepare for the weekend ahead.
It was an early morning start on Satur-
day but luckily most of the accommoda-
tion was less than ten minutes from the
track. However the fog was like soup
and visibility next to none, consequently
the days’ event did not start until around
10am until the fog lifted sufficiently to be
able to see the track. Saturday was a
run at two different Hillclimb combina-
tions, and the weather turned out perfect
for the event and everyone had a ball.
Up, down, around, cross over, up, tight
corners, up, blind crests, and so it goes.

Rob Hall was like a Cheshire with a wide
grin on his face all day. Some competi-
tors coming off exhausted after the work
out, but laughing and grinning the whole
time.
The friendly rivalry was evident and eve-
ryone had a ball. Rob Hall was good
enough to allow Nick Phillips to drive his
car at the event due to his car develop-
ing engine problems a few days before
leaving for Vic. Fay Edwards offered
Bev a drive in the ZR and was very im-
pressed with its handling, acceleration,
braking etc., and appreciated the oppor-
tunity. Wes drove the ZS SUV and per-
formed well, and had some competition
with Fay and I giving him a run for his
money.
I believe Murray is the only one in our
group that had seen the track before,
and he and Karen shared driving the
MGA driving in a large class of Classic
Cars. Driving exceptionally, Karen was
fastest of the ladies from SA. (3 ladies
representing SA – whoopee)!
Gary Bolt’s car held together and you
could certainly hear him where ever he
was on the track. Lindsay Hick was driv-
ing the only T Type and performed well
all day, but son Alexander was there
supporting his dad, and can’t wait to get
behind the wheel.
Jason put on a performance that was
watched by everyone – boy does that
car handle well.
We caught up with Eric Erickson in the x
Bazzica MGB Racing car, and it was his
first event for about three years. Apart
from a few over heating problems, he
was excited about being back in the ac-
tion.
The facilities there are fantastic with a
large ‘asphalted’ area for trailing park-
