A couple of unsealed patches on the right side going up should make things interesting, one before and one just after the first right hand bend.
The first one shouldnt be a problem, but the next one round the bend could make for interesting viewing even after being patched up.
Anywho entry form done, bring on the 23rd/24th.

Please, do not carry out "practice runs" up Te Wharau Road. There have been comments made to us by local residents and some residents have lodged formal objections to this event with the Carterton District Council.

A member of the Organising Committee will be attending a hearing with the CDC this week to argue for continuing to run this event.

There is the possibility we may lose this event if the "practice runs" continue.
We need the cooperation of the locals to be able to have this Hillclimb.
We stress that being able to run the event is a privilege, not a right.

Masterton Police are aware we are running again this year and may be monitoring the local roads.

- please pass this message on.

Hey guys. Could you clear up for me, is the only prize money this year for beating the outright record? Or is there still the usual for the top three spots?

Hi Drew

Prizes
• $1000 prize money for the C class rider who can beat the outright record by 0.5 second or more

• Trophy for fastest C2 rider

The annual Cliffhanger Hillclimb takes place on Te Wharau Road, Gladstone
on the weekend of 23rd and 24th March 2013.

Each year we rely on a motley band of volunteers to help us run the event
and this year is no different: we need volunteers to help with marshalling.

If you can spare a morning, an afternoon or all day on either Saturday 23rd or
Sunday 24th March and would like to lend a hand, then

call or text Russ Allen on 021 731 089 or

email us at mail@cliffhanger.org.nz

and we’ll get right back to you.

Lunch will be provided and all volunteers who spend a whole day with us will be
in a draw held on both days for $50.00 petrol vouchers.

We look forward to hearing from you!!!

Hi, just checking that I am reading this right.... you will "go in a draw" for petrol voucher not automatically be given one for volunteering??

Yes, that is the correct understanding. We are all volunteers and organise the event in our free time. The registration fees charged and the good will of sponsors are just covering our expenses. We've worked hard this year to keep the fees as low as possible.

**CliffhangerPromotion** · 16th March 2013, 22:04

One week to go. If you consider to register it would make the whole registration process easier if you pre-register online because we would be able to print out the entry forms and all you have to do is sign it

No obligations are coming with the pre reg.

*** IMPORTANT NOTICE ***

We regret to inform you that we can not allow individual power generators for this year's Hillclimb.

Because of the long draught the risk of a fire is to high.

We are trying to organise a generator which is capable to provide enough power for the participants who need it. We'll update the status about the generator as soon as we know more.
