Mt Cooperabung Hillclimb

Postby olboy » Sun Jun 05, 2011 6:39 pm

Thought I might go up and have a run at the Mt Cooperabung Hillclimb in August
Can anyone tell me anything about it is it steep, twisty, MX5 friendly, Worth the days drive to get to ?

Speaking of hillclimbs....Did the 40 bends at Lithgow ever get reopened?
There was a move some years back that I know was backburnered.
