Some good work there! Especially like that last one.

[chrispons]

Great to see some from other countries hillclimb action.

Would like to see more background to set scene.

Some very interesting machinery.

The old MK1 Cortina my fave.

I think the 2 engine one is called a "twinni" - original.... apparently had a Gogomobile body on it at one stage.

not to sure what you mean by background there chrispons, but will post some wider shots in the next day or so....

[chrispons]

Hi Joc,
The odd shot looking down the hill or up,or wider ,more scenery.
Startline ,or paddock ,finish.
A few aussi punters ,etc .
Thanks,
Pons

[J o C]

no problem Pons.... viewing areas were limited as they are with most Aussie autosports locations....

looking towards the top of the course from near the main spectator area:

wow, great series
that mini engined thing looks interesting - with two engines
im wondering whats powering that gocart in #4

really love #5, looks like they are there to have fun, rather than actually compete

[J o C]

thanks all...

I'm sure they are pretty serious when they strap on the helmet Echo...

will endevour to find out about the gocart engine as round 1 of the championships begin this weekend, so if I see it I'll ask.
