Mt Buller Sprint

[quozl]

Just wondering if anyone else is planning on entering this year? We sent in our entry today and are really looking forward to our second crack at the 16km climb up the mountain, hopefully this year we wont have torrential rain, fog and snow like we had in 07. I see that Dean from Volkspower has entered as well is there anyone else?

Cheers Al

Big bucks to enter and not a cheap weekend! I would be very keen though to do a weekend away as spectators. I can get very cheap accomidation on the mountain in a fully contained flat.

this one is a great spectator event with a few nice vantage points. I went a couple years ago and wouldnt mind going again to have a squiz if people wanna make a day/weekend of it

For anyone wanting to experience the event without having to spend 3K to enter motorsport they are having a touring class that costs $350.00 and you get two runs a day up the mountain behind the pace car at 80%. You don't need a cage for the touring event and you have a viewing area in the village to watch the motorsport competitors from.

sweet dude Roadtrip!!! I might try organising a G2G and cruise down for the Melb crew, could be an awesome weekend away!

I'll spectate but I think it'll be too exxy to enter

[Tim]

im pretty sure they are very picky at who they let enter this event anyways. Its not your average hillclimb. Last time I went jim richards was there making it look way too easy.

No way will any bum enter... Its a big buck events for big buck cars runing at the top of the sport. As others have siad make a weekend away of it.

Lets just hope DH racing and Sprint dont class like last year

The statements above are just plain wrong.

As long as your car complies with the rules for the motorsport section your entry will be accepted, I know the guys who run this personally and was away on the ATC with them last week and spoke to Timmy on the phone today who is the secretary for the event and they could care less who a person "is" as long as the car meets the rules and you have the entry fee and licences and all 150 spots aren't taken you're in.

As for the touring event, for $350.00 that is hardly big bucks and though it is limited to 30 entries it is still a fantastic way to experience one of the best driving roads in the country in a closed condition and take part in all the other aspects of the event.

For sure if you'd rather just show up to spectate by all means go for it but it really isn't that hard to take part in these events and you don't have to be Jim Richards to get an entry either and BTW he is very approachable and willing to chat to anyone about motorsport.
