Good fun events. We had one here years ago up Mt Victoria...was awesome fun! Plenty of trees there too. They don't tend to move much...

I used to do a hill climb up Mt Vic with a few mates back in the day. Great little bit of road from the south side.

That's a cool little hill climb - but too short. I guess it is difficult finding a good long sprint, and takes up more resourcing also.

It really surprises me that more 'big names' didn't enter the Cliff Hanger. The Cliff Hanger is awesome at a distance of 6.1km.

98tls - have you seen Jay Lawrence's run a few years ago ? Its on the hillclimb page www.cliffhanger.org.nz

Bit of an update on the 1200 motor,fitted and running but dyno results are annoying to say the least,only slightly better than 1080 motor... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v487/fiche-man/Engine/Stroker/?action=view&current=VIDEO0007.mp4
