Round 3 of the TSA-SRA Hillclimb series was held last weekend at Mt Cotton. I only managed to get to the racing on Sunday because of work commitments on Saturday but a great days racing was had. 

The weather was a perfect cloudless sunny day, albeit a little cool until late morning. The winter sun stays a little low in the sky for the tree lined Mt Cotton track, unfortunately creating some troublesome shadows over the track but you deal with it as best as you can.

There wasn't the usual number of competitors this event with quite a few open wheelers absent from the starting lineup but this allowed those that did race plenty of runs over the 2 day event.

Congratulations to Neil Lewis for breaking into the under 40 second club, commiserations to Cameron Stean for sticking the Lancer, one of my favourite sedans, into the bank over the finish line. I couldn't see the car properly on the tow truck but let's hope the damage isn't too bad. Also a big shout out to Darren Billington for keeping me on my toes coming out of the second loop trying hard to stay on the track, and failing, in that quick kart of his. He gathered it all up and got back on the track unscathed fortunately but did manage to lift my heart rate fairly quickly !
