🏁 ANOTHER GREAT ACHIEVEMENT FOR HILLCLIMB SA! 🏁
Well, that’s a wrap on the 2026 SA Hillclimb Championship!
We successfully ran the Championship on the East Track at The Bend – in reverse, and what a weekend it was! 🏁
I would personally like to take a moment to thank the incredible people who helped make this event such a success.
❤️ Brendan Wegener & Kevin Raedel
Without your passion and desire to keep grassroots motorsport progressing, evolving and improving, I’d be bored — and have absolutely no paperwork to do! 😂
Thank you for everything you do behind the scenes and for always pushing Hillclimb SA forward.
👏 OUR OUTSTANDING OFFICIALS & VOLUNTEERS
A huge thank you to Kacy Thompson, Chloe Langcake, Aaron Thompson and Craig Day for everything you do before, during and after our events. Your commitment and hard work never goes unnoticed.
A special thank you to Dylan Wegener and Ryan Wegener for putting out all those heavy tyre barriers — and then having to bring them all back in again! 💪
🍔 BJ Snack Shack
Thank you for keeping our officials fed with snacks and lunches throughout the weekend. Looking after the people who work so hard behind the scenes is so important, and we really appreciate you being there.
📻 James Mutch – Race Control
Juggling two separate radio communications across the weekend is no easy task, but you handled it all so smoothly, calmly and clearly. Thank you for keeping everything running so efficiently.
⏱️ OUR TIMING TEAM – Kyle Turner & Nicole Briggs
A massive thank you to Kyle and Nicole, who worked absolutely tirelessly throughout the weekend.
With the extreme wind and rain creating challenges for the timing equipment, you both worked through it and kept the results coming.
Between you, you keyed over 2,300 times into the system across the two days! 😲
That is an incredible effort, and you both did a fantastic job. Thank you for keeping one of the most important parts of the event running!
🏆 OUR AMAZING SPONSORS
We simply could not run events like this without the ongoing support of our sponsors.

🚗 AND FINALLY… OUR COMPETITORS!
A massive THANK YOU to every competitor who entered, travelled and supported the 2026 SA Hillclimb Championship.
You came to compete on what I think is one of the most fantastic pieces of race track in Australia — and despite Mother Nature throwing absolutely everything at us, including some pretty extreme wind and rain, you all got out there and made the most of it! I can only apologise that I couldn't control the weather! 😂🌧️💨
Despite the conditions, we still managed an incredible 11 runs plus the Shootout over the two days. That is something we should all be proud of!
At Hillclimb SA, we will always endeavour to be progressive, innovative and competitor-focused, creating events that you actually want to enter and be part of.
And trust me…
