| Q: |
What is a
hillclimb? |
|
A:
|
A
hillclimb is a single car speed event. Entrants compete
against the clock over the course, the fastest time being
the winner. Oddly enough, a hillclimb doesn't necessarily
have to take place on a hill. There are many classes to
enter and each class has is split into different sections
based on engine capacity. There are also prizes to fastest
outright, and depending on the location and event status,
there may also be prizes for fastest sedan, fastest lady,
best presented etc.

| Q: |
Do I need a special licence? |
| A: |
To compete in our hillclimb events you need a CAMS Level 2 Speed
Licence (L2S) or higher. Getting an L2S is as easy as filling out a form
available form the CAMS
website. There are no medical or driving tests
required. At the time of writing it costs $88 for 12 months. The licence
also covers you with Personal Accident Insurance (for injury to yourself)
An L2S allows you to compete in khanacross, motorkhanas hillclimbs and
supersprints

| Q: |
What type
of car do I need? |
| A: |
To join
WSCC you dont need to have any car. To run at Huntley
Hillclimb you can have any car you like. Almost anything
you can think of can, and has, competed at Huntley.
Vintage cars, shopping cars, sports cars, racing cars.
They all fit in somewhere. Datsun Sunny, Volkswagen kombi
it doesnt matter. If you have stolen Michael Schumacher's
Ferrari or the next door neighbours Laser, you can run
them at Huntley.

| Q: |
Type
what? |
|
A:
|
For the latest descriptions see 2007 Vehicle Regulations.
A summary is shown below. Note that our capacity
classes for types 5 and SV differ somewhat.
Type 1 & 2 are (usually) Road Registered Vehicles with little
or no modification. We run the two together because we
cant tell the difference between them and dont want to
referee any arguments over what is original and what is
not. You cant do a lot here, change exhaust.. few other
minor things.
Type 3 "Modified cars including 3J Club Cars as per CAMS
manual" The bulk of the cars we get fall into this
category. You can change carbs, injection systems, wheels,
sway bars. You can also swap engines provided they are
from same manufacturer and same configuration.
Type 4 "3D Sports Sedans (as per CAMS manual) & All Type
1,2,3 or SV cars running on slicks" Moving up into
serious stuff. Any engine you like, fiberglass bits,
perspex windows...
Type 5 "Open wheelers
as defined under 1st Category Racing Cars (as per CAMS
Manual) and cars not conforming to Types 1 & 2, 3, 4
& SV"
Type
SV Road
registered kit cars (Clubmans, cobras, etc.) Limited
Compliance Cars and 4WD Turbos

Q: |
How do I get to Huntley? |
|
A:
|
From the north...
Heading south down the freeway take the 2nd Dapto exit (Fowlers Rd exit).
Turn right off the exit ramp.
At the end of Fowlers, turn left onto Princes Highway.
Approx 800m up the hill there is a takeaway shop on the right. Turn right just after it. (Avondale Rd)
Follow Avondale until you get to what appears to be the end of it and turn right again. Follow that to bottom of mountain, and you will see us.
From south...
Take Dapto exit, turn left at the end of offramp.
After you go around a right hand bend turn left into Huntley
Rd.
Just follow the road out to the bottom of the mountain (it
changes to Avondale Rd along the way).

Q: |
What if I dont have a car? |
|
A:
|
You dont need to have a car to get enjoyment out of motorsport. You can have
just as much fun as an official. Anyone can be an official at an event
regardless of how much money they have.
