no that cover sat and sun runs. and depends on how many cars are there 3 or more runs per day. Sat is all practice runs and sun counts for end of year awards and stuff (points)

Hill climbs are a blast--glad to see they may be coming back in popularity. There was a hillclimb in my town when I was a kid and all the MGs, Triumphs, and Austin Healy's would show up--great for lightweight cars. I'm waiting for my Miata to be 25 years old so I can participate in the vintage hillclimb ib Hershey, PA.

I would love to do the Mt. Ascutney I or II....seems to be the most fun (longer and has more turns). It would be nice if another RX-8 shows up to compare times. What do you guys think?

I also read the regulations and it seems we need to mount a fire extinguisher in the cabin...any idea what would be the ideal place for that?
