Barry took his Reynard 92D to the top of the time sheets in Saturday’s supersprint with a 46.09-second run and returned on Sunday to achieve the same result in the hill climb thanks to a time of 45.91 on his final run of the day.

There was some close competition among the Type 4 Over 4000cc class competitors in the race for the minor placings each day.

In the supersprint Greg Frame – also from Mudgee –  took his Holden Gemini into second place with a 46.24 time and Glenn Pro’s Toyota Supra filled the podium thanks to his 47.14-second run.

Pro (46.88) swapped places with Frame (47.83) for Sunday’s hill climb.

BLCC president Mick Tuckey said after a rain scare from Friday night’s deluge the weekend’s racing went off without a hitch.

“We had 75 starters on the Saturday and it all ran very well with no big incidents. Doug Barry did very well in his open wheeler, as he always does,” he said.

“We had a couple of new members come up for this. Brad Schumacher turned up with his Lotus Elise … and Keith Bloomfield came up from Sydney in his Ford GT.

“On Sunday with the Mountain Straight hill climb we also managed to get a maximum field of 90 cars.”

The Mudgee grazier Barry recently finished the 2016 CAMS NSW Hillclimb Championship in second place after completing the final round at the Huntley Hill in Dapto.

This followed eight rounds of traversing the length and breadth of the state since the opening round of the at Bathurst back in March.
