This weekend was another round of Gippsland Car Club hill climb at Bryant Park.
The weather wasn't looking great from the start of the week, though I was hoping that it'd somehow circle us and I'd be able to put the changes made to the car to the test.
I went up to the track Saturday morning to assist with the working bee. I spent a heap of time on the broom, which I don't mind at times!
Swept the garages out and then walked the track and cleaned it up. It is a lot steeper on foot!

The weather rolled in at about 11am and pretty much stuck around all weekend!
I had planned to take my girlfriend for a couple of laps that afternoon, so was kinda disappointed I didn't get to scare the crap out of her!
I only did two laps with her, at a pretty slow speed. She seemed to enjoy it, so the day wasn't wasted.

Last night was probably the windiest night I remember at my parents!! I was just waiting for a big gum to blow over out the back, but that never happened luckily.
Up at Bryant Park, it was terrible. Windy, rainy and cold. This is the 2nd hill climb in a row that has been impacted by this terrible weather.
We were running the clockwise layout, but times were way off.
First run I just dawdled around, slightly quicker than most people.
The second run a dry, well kinda dry line had appeared. I went out a bit quicker and made it most the way around until I looped it after the back straight. This can be found below. No heat, slightly damp. Combo for disaster.
The third run, there was a slightly better dry line, so went a bit quicker.
Then it rained again, and I'd had enough of the rain by this stage, so bailed and went home early.
I don't regret that actually! It rained all the way home and no one went quicker for the rest of the day!
Here is a photo of my car in the rain.

A fair number of MGs were up there also. MG owners are a strange bunch!
Times for my class this time, 2nd fastest for the day behind a K20 EK.

I'm sure Ive mentioned running in Sports Sedans previously, with GCC only running a U2L class these days, it should mean there is some really good competition between a few cars.
And now I'm home watching Coachella.
Off to Wakefield on Friday!!
