yeah, I love MtCotton. Since Lakeside closed down, that is the best venue in QLD as far as I'm concerned - it's a huge adrenalin rush! There have been a few big crashes and rollovers out there. And you're right, track knowledge is a big factor in hillclimbing.

Don't underestimate Paul's car. I don't reckon he gives any bhp away to Greg Ward. That beetle always looks pretty unsettled and must be a real handful to drive.

I don't know Stan (but know of him, obviously), and I've only met Paul a few times. He only comes out for the big events these days and I've only been into this kind of thing for a little over a year. Are you going to the Aussie Hillclimb Championships at Grafton? I didn't enter - saw the track a little while ago and wasn't particularly impressed with it, and the entry fee is a bit steep as well.

NSW seems to have so many great hillclimb venues. We only have on full time venue (Mt Cotton) and a once a year event at Noosa.

Got any pics of your thousand in action?
