Noosa Hillclimb Summer 2021

By Dick Reynolds.


The second Noosa Hillclimb for 2021 started with scrutineering on Friday 26th November at the track, just out of Tewantin on the old Gyndier Road.

Jason McGarry, a major sponsor of the event with Eureka Landscapes kindly set up a great area for the LCQ people.
With little of the usual scrutineering or entry hassles, due to the new Racers process, most were happy to present at the Meet and Greet at The Boiling Pot Brewery, Noosaville. It was a bit noisy for Phil and Gail Hart, who decamped to a quieter venue, but the rest of us settled in for some tasty “din dins”, a few drinks and re-runs of old Noosa Hillclimb videos.

Race day presented with some clear weather, surprising given the forecast, and a rather clean, grippy track. Likewise the runs started on time, after a lengthy Drivers Briefing, and the times began to tumble. A few teething problems with the very clever transponder system meant I, of all people, had no times for the first two runs, obviously not an issue as times are not important to me. This all sorted very quickly by the Noosa Beach Classic Car Club crew meant the games had begun.

LCQ were represented by:

Shane Murphy, Lotus 7
Jason McGarry, Caterham 7
Jon Young, Caterham 7
Dick Reynolds, Caterham 7
Phil Hart, Porsche GT3
Darryl Copithorne, Lotus Elise
David Yule, Lotus Elise

With Pat Richards offering moral support.

Along with the above crew, the usual gaggle of competitors were there to hound us:

Robin Manning, Mini
Ryan Campbell, Westfield
Randall Spice, Westfield
Stuart Baird, Loocost
Tim Atkinson, Caterham
Michael Atkinson, Audi R8
Randall Spice, Westfield

You may observe there be a lot of Clubman cars, in fact, never seen so many. Made for some terrific racing. Surprisingly there were few incidents, and only a couple of technical issues. You will just have to come to the next LCQ meeting to get all the real nitty gritty.

Results (Fastest time) for us
Jason McGarry 61.28 13th outright
Dick Reynolds 61.76 15th
Phil Hart 62.39 20th
Shane Murphy 65.55 40th
David Yule 66.09 49th
John Young 66.26 50th
Darryl Copithorne 69.80 77th

Thank you to Noosa Beach Classic Car Club and Racers for the event. And thank you all the competitors for another great hillclimb. Also, a special mention to Jen Murphy, Gail Hart, Robyn and Pat Richards, Curtis McGarry and Max for their moral and dietary support during the event.
