Cliffhanger Hillclimb 15 & 16 March 2008 Aussies coming

**Dave Milligan** · 30th November 2007, 08:58

Hi All,

I've just seen an excellent article in the latest AMCN about the Cliffhanger Hillclimb at Gladstone (East of Carterton & just South of Masterton) on Saturday 15 & Sunday 16 March 2008.

The article by Mick Matheson challenges Aussie racers to come to NZ and take part in this exciting event.

Because of the nature and terrain of this event it will have very good spectator viewing and provide two days of racing which in some respects will be very similar to the great Isle of Man TT races.

It's a "run what ya brung" event and the fastest bike up a measured course wins the prize. There appears to be several categories of racing, obviously for different engine size/specs so most bikes will be able to race.

I'm gunna do my best to get there from Melbourne. Probably stay at the Carterton Holiday Park - motorcycle friendly the last time I stayed there.

Kind regards
Dave Milligan

Good stuff! ...yeah the event has been mentioned a fair bit on here (although some people still haven't heard of it!) and the official website is www.cliffhanger.org.nz ...

Well, folks, I'm all booked in and going to the Hillclimb on the weekend of 15 & 16 March.

On top of that I'm shipping over 4 Aussie bikes which will be used by Aussie competotors in this fabulous event.

Oh, well, who gives a Fat Rats if I'm there, but having some Aussie competitors will be good.

Kind regards & Happy New Year

Awesome stuff. This is a great event and it's going to be cool having a bit of trans-Tasman competition.

Well it seems I'm gonna have to do a bit more work on the team owners to allow me to compete.

There's nothing WBP Racing enjoys more than thrashing Aussies

Don't bother mate. I'll be entering so you'll have no chance.

and what you mean by 'thrashing aussies' is by thrashing you mean 'staying on' and by aussies you mean 'bikes'

Forget bringin' booze into NZ, we've just gotta make sure the buggers don't score the champers while they are here!

I've got some bad news for you people too.....the weather is guaranteed to be crap that weekend.
How do I know?
I've just checked my roster and I'm actually going to be home for this one (praise the lord it's a Christmas miracle!) so the chances of me actually being able to attend a race meeting and have good weather are slim and none...and in the words of Clint Eastwood "and Slim just left town..."

That's great news and us locals will make you welcome ..so long as you ride slower than us OK.
What bikes are you bringing so we can recognise you..or will the corks hanging from your helmets give you away (just kidding)

Feel free to bring the Melbourne womans beach volleyball team with you as supporters.
Happy New year to you to Dave Milligan

Mark

Awww, c'mon mate, I've only just got my sight back after being blinded by the reflection off your blindingly white arse! The vines are normally quite pretty throughout the 'rapa but that's one bunch of grapes I hope to never see again.......

....besides I've already committed myself to improving on last year, now that Frankensteins Bride is running OK (touch wood/head) I'm aiming for second last...I think I can, I know I can, I think I can, I know I can....
