Gladstone Cliffhanger Hillclimb - March 2007

[James Deuce]

and congrats Drew....ya did fucking well against 80% of people predictions!!!

See you on the track!!!! its on!!

You've heard of reverse psychology, right?

[Lissa]

Well done DREW!! I voted for ya.. knew you could do it.

[Joni]

OK, am I being daft... but where are the results? :spudwhat:

[James Deuce]

Skelstar hasn't typed them in yet.

[Joni]

Well no Skelps for him then eh?
Come on Sean... I also want to know

[limbimtimwim]

Fark that looks cool! Good on ya guys!

I know I am contributing to the head swell; but fizzerman, jayracer and Mr Warren Turner and White Trash were visibly a cut above coming up that section. From where you first see the headlights of the bike, to where I was standing is quite some distance. I'm standing on a smallish left hander that turns into a not so small right hander.

They were going f-u-c-k-i-n-g fast.

I have video of every competitor on that corner, I plan on making some sorts of 'sports training montage' with cheesy 80's music.

Bloody awesome riding Drew. Nuff said.

Flame showed em all that girls can do anything -bloody awesome mate.

After crappy weather all morning it finally cleared, the sun came out and the road was dry within 40 minutes. The times kept coming down for everyone who got 6 or 7 runs at the hill.

Fizzerman and Warren Turner had been dicing for the best time all weekend really but determined Drew dug deep and did the bizzo, (like that alliteration?)

OK, am I being daft... but where are the results? :spudwhat:

yes....yes your are!!!! but you do daft very cutely!!!

[Crasherfromwayback]

You must be riding well mate....the guys behind you are no slugs...

And to you Flame! Nice one!!

[GSVR]

Drew the Legend. His brother Whitetrash didn't do to bad either. Kiwibiker dominated event.

Most respect must go to Deano for all the time and effort he's put into the organising and running of the Sprints and Cliffhanger events.

[Keystone19]

Congrats to everyone who competed and the organisers - sounds like an awesome event.

And Go Flame - just 'cause she's a chick of course.

Might have to bring the sv1000 down next year...

[skelstar]

Haven't seen the results Joni!!!

[flame]

You must be riding well mate....the guys behind you are no slugs...

And to you Flame! Nice one!!

Cheers Pete,

What an awesome day, the first few runs a little scarey in the wet tho....infact A LOT scarey! Thanks to Motohaus Tyres for supplying me with something that would keep me upright!!! Though once the weather cleared it was MAGIC riding up there, I was dropping a second per run. Fizzer was flying, I cant believe how fast he and the other front runners Warren, Jay, and Jimmy were getting up that hill! Well done to you guys, With a very SPECIAL well done to DREW You deserved it babe! And a HEUUUGE thanks to him for his encouragement, I wouldn't have found that last second in my final run if had not been for his believing in me and his encouraging words.

Congrats to you Deano for winning the Support Class, and for putting so much effort (and Nicky) into a fantastic day. I'll be back next year for sure, Hoping that a V-twin can do better than a 2nd place

I turned up to see the last three rounds on Sunday. By that time a few people had decided they couldn't go any faster and had bowed out but others were still going hard. My comments for people I know as below.

FIZZERMAN
1st overall
Beating the champ of four years running deserves a big round of applause. After hearing your stories of dragging your knee, etc I'm looking foward to seeing photos/movies from the event. 174km/h average speed.

WHITE TRASH
4th overall
A bloody good effort on a bike that you hadn't ridden before and was optimised for a heavier rider. Nice to meet you WT.

DEANO
6th overall
1st supporting class
A quieter bike and not so many revs off the line made you launches seem slower than the guys grabbing a big handfull of revs but the truth is in the results showing you were real quick.

FLAME
7th overall
2nd supporting class
1st Twin
1st BEARS
1st Female
Went into the event wanting to be the fastest Y-twin. Was fastest up to the second last run when she pulled a high 1:48 and another aprilia rider pulled a low-mid 1:48. Went into the last run saying she wanted a 1:47 and pulled off 1:47.216 making her not only the fastest V-twin but the fastest twin. Also launched real well almost always seeming to be one of the quickest off the line. 150km/h average speed.

A big congratulations to all who entered.
Thankyou to the organisers and marshalls.

[Joni]

Thanks for that Mike...

Well done to all of you guys (and gals)

You shoulda come this year keystone, you would have loved it. Its more exilerating than the track. (a bit scarey at times too I have to say, I think there was one moment that had me wishing I'd taken some spare undies, somewhere near that da'am CliffHanger Corner ..lol) Next year though eh, be great to have more females entering. We'll get Riffy here too. She ain't pyking out that easily
