How much is it
Hi Ashton,
This years prices haven’t been confirmed by the organisers as yet. But to give you an idea, the 2017 prices were $140 for Friday and $320 for Saturday/Sunday if you paid early. Add an extra $100 after the early bird cut off. The prices are typically confirmed around August each year.
Best regards,
Jess

I will be arriving in Mount Gambier on a tour arriving on the 7th of November. Is the hill climb on that day or on the 8th? It would be great to be able to see the event.
Hi Diane,
I have just checked and the Hillclimb has been scheduled for 4 – 6 November 2016 (Fri, Sat, Sun). So unfortunately with your arrival date, it looks as if you will miss the event.
Regards,
Jess
