Lot of the rules and event dates are here. http://www.hillclimb.org/ I will be at these this year. The roads are close off to public so no cops or traffic to worry about. any intrest?

 

wow that looks like freaking fun..

 

^^ hell yeah it does.... i wish they had that in so cal... i've been searching... but to no cigar.

 

Need these in NorCal. Would be a blast.

Tesla baby, Norcal folks probably know what I am talking about.

 

Talikng with the guys that run it. no less then 30 turns up the mountain road

 

$140 for one run is it?

 

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)

 

maybe 140 for the day / a number of runs

Keep us posted!

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?
