This guy is just tearing up the hill. Reminds me of the bikes on Isle of Mann, a somewhat different level of driving than most.

Y'all hillclimb guys are nuts. Incredible video.

watch how the car remains center of the road and compare that to his
steering input. The massive torque and light front-end make it a BEAST.

Impressive. He's pretty busy in there. Awesome sound.

That driver was right on the edge, constantly making steering corrections to keep the car in the right position. Pretty impressive driving.

At Cascade we have some really challenging corners as you can't see the exit until some distance around the corner. So if you get excited and turn in (from the middle of the road) before you see the exit your off.

What's bad about that, is everyone, when not sure of what's coming, from their
experiences with DE classes, is to take the middle.

When talking to new drivers at the hill that's what I tell them. Stay in the middle and don't turn in until you can see the exit. Early apexing not good.

Got our first experience with hillclimbing this year with the SCCA Chasing the Dragon hillclimb in the NC mountains. What a blast!! I've posted videos of our runs, but after watching this one, I feel REALLY slow!!
