PCCV Slippery Dip

Every year we run a slippery dip at Jeff Gill’s property in the Yarra Valley. Drivers try to negotiate a course, usually quite slippery, up an increasingly steep slope, through 10 gates. Some make it to the top, some don’t.

This year is different. A motorkhana will also be run alongside the slippery dip. But the motorkhana will not be your usual tests, run on flat grass surfaces. There are slopes, tracks and uneven surfaces to test your manoeuvring skills, plus a stop watch to see how quickly you drivers loose time.

To encourage newcomers this will be a ‘Come & Try’ event running alongside the slippery dip. Entry fees are to be confirmed, but all you need to do is turn up in a car that might get quite dirty and has some tread on the tyres.

Please bring some food for lunch. A BBQ will be available, plus there is a very good bakehouse with excellent coffee in Millgrove, only a few minutes down the road from the venue. Jeff has even installed a proper toilet up the mountain. I’m looking forward to trying to drive up the track from the loo as Jeff says it is impossible to climb in any car.

I’ll publish the event entry forms next month and provide some at the club meeting, or you can simply turn up to the Gill property by 10am, one hour’s drive from Melbourne. Just drive up Dee road as far as you can. Melway map 289 A1
