      I imagine Dutton competitors might get first preference? But if it's run over 2 days, there should be plenty of time for the field to get their runs in......

        I see an in-car camera mount being sorted out for this event too (or maybe in a few weeks time?)

        It was wearing RE55's last night, it can change it's shoes you know

        23kev - the section that they are running is three lanes (two up, one down) so a lot more open than a nebo with a couple of trickey corners (well, one in particular), the odd jump where you'll get quite a bit of air and a lot of very quick blind exit corners. It's somewhere you can really let loose in a big hp car if you've taken your brave pills.

        Edit

        Oh, and all three of us will be driving

          Another short video of a bike almost being spotted at 140km/h by cops..
          There's gotta be a video of the whole run floating around somewhere?

          as short as possible

            or stupid pills!

            I have a video of pretty much the whole run at home.
            I'll dig it up tonight.

            The camera work is pretty shaky, and not great quality, but it does give a good overview of that section of road

                Basically its a great bit of twisty road between Hornsby and Gosford. There is an awesome pie shop there which is usually full of bikers of all descriptions on the weekends.

                  The best bit of road is before the Hawkesbury (from the Sydney side). After the Hawkesbury, it's pretty shit. I presume it's a downhill run to the Pie in the Sky.

                    The run in question is uphill, from Brooklyn to Pie in the Sky.
                    It's one hell of a hillclimb course, and probably my favourite piece of road anywhere

                            I hope they run this during the day.

                            Cos the entrants will get a great idea on braking distances from the skidmarks left by Asian uni students in Honda's before they bounced off the armco.
