I got this off another board and the guy had no details on it, where, car, nothing, but what a wild ride. Sure beats the shit out of autocrossing!

It's about 2 1/2 minutes long for you dial up guys.

Turn it up...

oh man. that guy is apeshit.

AWESOME. looks like fun.... more so than an AX

Damn!

Asphalt wussies....Pike's Peak is dirt

Didn't we do that on the Poker run for the WCC05?

Just you, Ron

Awesome video...thanks! any idea what the car is?

cool hillclimb - don't try this at home - better have a one-way street!

That car resembles this one. I know they have bike engines in them, not much more, but they look very similar.

I agree, crazy hillclimb and great video

Forgot the pic

Sort of reminds me of Hells Gate going thru the Rockys....It like the video is different than a AX....AX make a mistake and a bunch of cones suffer. Make a mistake on the twistys and it's the sudden stop at the bottom that hurts.

Cool vid

Looks like the last ten miles of my commute home.
I'm always REAL aware of the end result of a screw up on a road like that after being the first on scene of a guy in a Beemer who blew it on of the apexes of my road home.
Lets just say after he left the paved surface he didnt contact anything for about 400 feet.
Big Big owwee.
Started a fire also.
Thank god it was winter.

Great Vid.

Wow!

screw 914's.....

I'll take one of those!

Check out nhahillclimb.org
They had events in OR, ID, N. CA, MT, WY in '05. I think these are all weekend affairs.
I know a guy who participates with an Audi Coupe Quattro and is building a 914-6 to enter next year. Looks like fun.

cool video

here in Europe there is a Hillclimb Championship

this video was taken in France

the driver is Alain CASTELLANA in his NORMA M20 (check out the onboard camera)

All I can do is smile. Can we go watch?

you've seen Howard Robilliard (Howard R) video from the hillclimb in australia ???

now that was schweet! (and in a 914/6)
Andy

Here is some info on the car...

http://www.vrchy.com/norma_castellana.html

It has a 3.0 BMW in it.

That engine is worked over. Love it.

The orange car above is a Radical SR3 - and yes - they come with either a 1300 ir 1500cc bike engine (and sequential shifter). They are very fast. I hear the 1500 engines aren't very reliable tho...

Oh yeah. Radicals are street legal in Europe.

You can come try out our local Hill climb. Check out Crow Mountain

Here is the teaser for the DVD.

it keeps the shock/dampener companies in business

What don't you guys do that every weekend? JK, wouldn't that be awesome! We have a guy in our club who did One Lap of America in one of those. His is street legal! Best wishes - Jay Gratton

That's a wild ride! The course looks a lot like the Virginia City Hillclimb outside of Carson City Nevada. 5.2 miles long and 1200 foot climb with mountain on one side and cliff on the other. I did it for 9 years and miss it. It was crazy dangerous but a totally different rush than running a track. Thanks Ury.

This was the first year for the event so the road was only re-paved in the corners. It is also a limited use county road. There are plans to have the whole road re-paved for next year's event.

The roads in the south are infinitely better than the roads anywhere else in the country. They don't take the beatings they do during winters up north and we also don't have as many people as you guys out in CA, so the wear is much less.

We talked to the city council and all of the land owners on either side of the road from the top to the bottom of the moutain. After convincing them that we weren't a bunch of beer drinking drunk ass rednecks they said OK you can come play on our road. Then the city said we can close the road for you, but "Bring money to our town". We had a great turn out and the city was happy so we will be having that event again next year and hopefully for many years to come.

What do you mean by "you guys"?

P.S. to Brett - that event looked great and the video was awesome. You could really tell everybody was getting in to it, like the corner worker lifting his leg after the car did the same.

Yes...and no. They did pave it farther up, so it is not as much "dirt." But they spray the roadbase with a Pennzoil product that makes it as close to a paved surface as you can get without actually paving it. It makes the surface very hard and is supposed to minimize the dust and debris that comes off of the road surface.

If the city council gets their way, the Hill Climb will go bye bye in the next few years.

I didn't see any 914s?

we could blow them away....

I want to do that.

Nothing like a bit of closed road to race on. I'm off to Adelaide next Monday. Car goes on the truck on Friday then we fly over. Hopefully wont have the problems of last year.

PS put on a set of Dunlop D02G (195/55/15) in the softest compound. Preliminary indications are that they will stick like shit to a blanket.

Go for it Howard!
We look forward to some more great video this year. Last year's video is my all time favourite.

Howad post that one again, please.

That would be cool.

I've wanted to start a car picture thread. Only odd ball cars, P-cars, race cars, or whatever.

Than I could post pictures of ugly 911's.

It looks like at least one 914 was there ( http://www.crowmountainhillclimb.org/entri...redCrawford.htm ). Anyone know him or the car? If it is prepped half as nice as it looks, it should fly...

Later,
Don

I'd love a members video section....

I know the racer guys have bazillions of video's.

I'll get some video. 35 or so stages over 4 days racing, varying in length from about 7 or 8 km up to 17 km. Good weather over there this time of the year, but can get a bit too sunny, 38 - 40 C (100 - 110 ish in your money). A bit exhausting in a triple layer suit all day.

The one that was signed up for our event broke at the last minute. I couldn't come up with a complete side shift 915 in two days so he could make the event so he had to cancel his entry. Hopefully we'll see him next year.

In OREGON?!? Shweeeeet...I want to hill-climb more than auto-x but didn't know it was available. Thanks for the URL! When I used to live in Philomath they would have hill-climbs up Mary's Peak. That'd be fun!
