Under 600cc in either Cliffhanger or Support class.

Check out www.cliffhanger.org.nz for an entry form Flyno - it has all the info you should need.

Its a shame I've only been on the road once otherwise i'd probably enter on the Bandit

wait a sec...... this is a closed road right? can I tootle (no, seriously tootle) up the hill on the 636? or wont i be allowed to enter cos i dont have the license?

[skelstar]

I think that'll be fine Wasp (636). I'm pretty sure that there will be race bikes there.

[Deano]

Wasp - A day licence is included in the entry fee, so no worries there.

Riders are spaced at 1 minute intervals, and the fastest is 2.13s - how slow is tootling ? Haha

You could always sit at the back and go last, that way no one will definitely catch up to you. - with more track knowledge throughout the day, your times will also come down quite dramatically.

Alternatively, you could be a marshal ?

[Wasp]

No i meant i dont have my full license so will i sitll be able to ride it in the event?

i have no problems going last - but like i said "tootling", i dont know the road nor the bike....

yea i can marshall, actually thats a much better idea

edit: just looked at the cdd website - i see the fun/practice day on saturday is $30, how much is the sunday? what if i run on saturday and marshall on sunday?

[Deano]

MNZ rule 5-8-5 states no civil licence is required for Road Events where the road is closed under the LGA (which it is)

So I think you should be sweet to ride the 636.

Ignore the CDD website - it is obsolete. www.cliffhanger.org.nz is the current site, and entry forms are linked there.

Sat is $40, Sun is $40 for support class.

You could marshal on one of the days only no problem. Please confirm if you want to marshal and on which day, so I can let the committee know tonight.

[Wasp]

okay, i will have to have a think about this and get back to you before i finish work

what time do i have to be there if i am marshalling?

anyone want to take a 636 to gladstone?

[Deano]

Call for volunteers to marshal/assist at the Cliffhanger Hillclimb.

A marshals' briefing will occur at about 8.45am on each of the mornings, so you would need to be there at about 8.30am. The day would end approximately 4.45pm.

what time do i have to be there if i am marshalling?

Sigh - I wish people would read things more carefully. Not having a go at you Wasp - I do appreciate your offer to help. I have just had so many enquiries about the hillclimb when pretty much everything you need to know is on here or on the cliffhanger website.

[White trash]

Hey Deano. What time do I have to be there if I'm winning?

[cowpoos]

Hey Deano. What time do I have to be there if I'm winning?

you will be there early!!!! very very early....and no drinking the nite before...salad for breakfast,lunch and dinner to get those extra pounds off...

[Deano]

Thanks heaps to the people who have PM'ed me with offers of assistance to marshal.

Just to update.

Saturday - marshal's briefing is at 11.00am.
Sunday - marshal's briefing is at 9.00am.

Please be there 15 minutes early if possible.

The food at the mini rally/hill climb party on Saturday night is FREE. This includes Mexican chilli for dinner, and a cooked breakfast on Sunday, sausages, beans, eggs etc. Registration forms available from the cliffhanger website - (see my signature)

Prizegiving on Sunday evening (about 5.00pm) will take place at the rally site.

Prizemoney has been confirmed and will be given to the three fastest riders entered in the Cliffhanger Classes on Sunday. (not the top three in each of the two Cliffhanger Classes.)

1st overall - $500
2nd overall - $250
3rd overall - $150

Medals will be awarded to the top three riders in each category of the Cliffhanger and Support Classes. Certificates will be given to everyone (and have been revamped since the last sprints).

Some trophies are also on offer for various other sub categories (era, origin etc)

Some other prizes may be given also.

A record number of 'pre entries' have been received already - it's shaping up to be the most successful hillclimb yet !!

[Deano]

*bump*
Ignore the weather forecasts...let's all do a sun dance?

[Wasp]

I went and bought an over the top jacket for my leathers, its working great - not a single drop of rain on tonights ride!

edit: i think i'll enter the 636 on saturday, thats the point of saturday isnt it? am i right to assume i should not enter sunday?
