My road trip buddy was TOOL and his georgeous Mazda Cosmo 20B, having that fill my rear view mirror on the way up was candy for the eyes.
Great to see another good turn from the rx7fb boys.
A great variety of cars on display this year which is what makes RRG so good, there are no right or wrong ways of doing things, everyone is accepted. You can find you yourself looking at a car and thinking I do not like it one bit - but can appreciate the work and effort that has gone into making it.
My hillclimb efforts were hampered by a fueling issue. I cannot be sure, until I get it on a rolling road for a proper tune, but I suspect it was running out of fuel for some reason. It got off the line like a scalded cat and continued to pull hard, but half way up started to sputter.
Whilst standing in line for my second run up the hill I was approached by one of the organisers and informed that I had received the "Racer" award. Which was totally out of the blue, but made my day!
Racer - Got a genuine race car? Got a car done up in race car livery? Well we've got the award for you. Maybe. The winner of this one will be a great looking race car. Whether that is a faux racer, a retired racer or a currently active racer is up to those that turn up. Extra points for authenticity, but we're a broad church so we'll be considering all comers.
Well deserved, your car looked awesome going up the hill, shame about the fuelling issue.... are you running a swirl pot?
