Nathan, are you going to run your shifter kart up the hill this year? Or will you be co-driving something?

i don't know. i'm not sure if they'd even allow a kart on the hill -- and i'm not sure that the surface of the road would be conducive to a vehicle with no suspension... i've been offered a ride up the hill, but i'm not sure i'll take it.
in any case, my '07 race schedule isn't published yet, so i don't know if i'll even be free. i'm trying to be competitive in two different series next year, which will mean 14 or so race weekends (plus practice, testing, travel, etc). IF I'm free, however, then I'm there -- even if I'm not driving!! It was SUCH a help to have you and Randal there last, the least I can do is return the favor to someone else. I can sling a wrench, haul shit, and party as good as most! public service message to 914club members: this even is really fun. It's not a lot of seat time given the tow up, but it's an experience to remember. |

I will be completely set for this next year. I just wasnt ready this year and had hectic work schedule that didnt allow me to get away. If anyone who I'd trust wants to drive my car wants to co-drive I'd be willing to share my car. Not sure if the hillclimb format allows for co-driving?
My car should be fairly zoomie next year. |

the format does allow for co-driving -- there are two run-groups.

Yeah, there is a least one annual husband-wife team. You first years will get to meet them at the newbie drivers meeting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Nathan & Randal know what I'm talking about. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
