Some of you may not have seen this Z hillclimber from Switzerland. The car sounds good, pity about the ending though.

After watching that I had the urge to find a long winding road meandering through the hills. Then I looked out the window and seen the snow coming down and snapped back into reality. Bummer.

Can anyone tell us more about these events? Length of course, classes in which the cars compete, number of races per year in the series. Are they covered by local or national TV?

thanks,

Carl B.

Carl,

In Oz, these events are run at a State & National level. In Victoria (where I reside) the events are sanctioned by CAMS and are run as multi club events.

There are approximately 5 usable sites with a further 3 under investigation for this year.

The most famous is the Rob Roy Hill Climb run by the MG Car Club

www.mgcc.com.au/robroy/index.shtml

Lengths of course vary as do the number of races per year (generally 5-6 per year, but that is dependant on clubs finding qualified officials).

They are not covered by TV, however, I have seen a some on youtube.

I have no doubt about it, I've come across a lot of zeds already.

I wonder if it might be sensible to create a forum for the S-30 and varients on Y'tube?

I like the music selection between driving scenes

Not sure if you guy's have seen these but there are a couple of videos of this car "Janspeed Z" on this page. Its probably one of the fastest accelerating Z's I have seen.

John, How about some videos of your winning runs from the Solo Nationals? In car or outside will do.

Hey there JTZ23.

Guys, I got a great idea. The ClassicZ Golden Z award for best film etc. for the year. Carl, you are right. U-Tube is just going to get bigger. How many really great videos have we seen in the last year? Remember the Dutch guys who bought that rust-free Z on ebay and made that bizzare film about restoring it? We could set up an account, nominate videos, and vote for best-of various categories like best music, best cinematography, best edit, best nude women, etc. Every year, we could have a showing and vote; awarding a certificate from the club to the authors. Waddaya Thunk?
