Club Hillclimb Round 1
Update 19/5/2019 : The first round of the 2019 MX-5 Club Hillclimb series is now open!
This hillclimb day is designed for drivers that have little or no experience in this type of event, who either would like to try out a new discipline, or are yearning to fill the gaps in their motorsport calendar. It is also the first of two hillclimbs the club will be running as a championship in 2019, and so will offer this additional competitive challenge.
The hillclimb is being held at Ringwood Park Motorsport Complex, which is approximately 20 minutes north of the Newcastle end of the M1 Motorway.
As this event will be run under a CAMS permit, club members will need to hold a CAMS L2S, L2SJ or better licence.
We don't plan to offer L1 licence for this event, so you will need to have one of the above CAMS licences.
To keep the costs down, we are running this event under a single-club CAMS permit, so you will need to be an MX-5 Club member.
IMPORTANT:
The entry process is now completely online at the CAMS Event Entry (CEE) web site. There can be multiple steps in submitting an entry, particularly for dual-entered cars, and it is important to complete those steps in the correct order. We strongly advise you to view the tutorials on the CEE site before attempting to register at the site or enter the event.
CAMS Event Entry can be accessed through the CAMS website (http://www.cams.com.au), on the right hand side, under the heading "What can you do in the member portal?"
When entering the event, if you are not an MX-5 Club member please be sure to select a quantity of 1 for the non-member extra, at the very bottom of the entry.
If you are new to the CAMS Event Entry system, you should read this first:
Note that if you are entering yourself in the event as the driver, you can complete the disclaimer for the day as part of the registration – this is part of the CEE process, but you have to tick the appropriate box in the CEE webpage. If you do this, you will not have to fill the disclaimer out on the day. If you don't, or if you are entering for another driver however, then you or that driver will still need to fill out a disclaimer on the day.
Classes: Will be ascertained at scrutineering.
The following classes will be used for the 2019 MX5 NSW Hillclimb Championship:

Non MX-5s are able to enter, but are not eligible for competition points or awards.
Please also ensure your preferred numbers are up to date in CEE, if applicable.
If you have a preferred number in CEE, and you are allocated that car number for the event, you will be expected to provide your own car numbers, visible from 20 metres, on the drivers side door as a minimum.
