I think I posted a time similar to a 911 GT3 RS ...

I wish I had some AX tires instead of old crusty street tires!

Cheers

Eddie

LOL! I think you would run away screaming like a little girl.

Eddie was that the Maryhill hillclimb?

Yes,

MaryHill Hill Climb with the NHA (Northwest Hill Climb Association). It was the first time NHA has run at MaryHill.

It is a private road. About two miles long.

It would be a great place for a 914 event!

Fresh asphalt, hot weather, and the smell of burnt rubber!

Chris, I gotta make it over to Rich's sometime. Watch you guys tinker around on your 914, you know, supervise.



Just because I don't currently have a 914 doesn't mean I cannot still annoy you local guys. Troy included

To be totally honest we should organize a 914 fuck off time trial and rent the road for a weekend. just imagine how fun it could be!

I believe the road rental is $1000 per day and $500 refundable cleaning deposit. I understand insurance may be required if the event is a timed event.

The NHA event was timed. There was a tow truck on site but no emergency medical.

A lot of different groups rent the road. Some go up ... cars and motorcycles. Some go down ... Long Board and Street Luge riders.

I for one would work hard to get my car turbo'ed and prepped to do it. the question is how do we insure a huge group of "excited" NARP owners. We could host a mid engined 914 world time trial event. Allow anything with a motor in the middle. Either way that is a killer road and I would just plain love to go up or down it in my car or Duc.

Eddie

Tell me if I'm wrong but the NHA requires roll bars and

fire suits for the cars to participate don't they?

Some Clubs require a racing or rally drivers license also?

Help, I'm looking for a lug nut wrench and a tool bag for the Creamsickle. It dawned on me last night that I didn't have one for the car. Anybody have one in their collection that they can part with?

Nord,

Looks like no roll bars (for the 914) or fire suits are needed:

3.1 All entrant cars must have a shoulder harness or straps
3.2 Roll bars or roll cages are required in all open cars. Integrated roll bars (i.e. Corvette, Porsche) are acceptable. Roll bars/roll cages are required in Super Production. Roll bars/roll cages must be constructed to 1975 or later GCR rules. Inflated or popup roll bars are not permitted. The roll bar must be above the drivers’ helmet, and be adequately braced. It must pass tech inspection.
3.3 Fire extinguishers, or fire systems, are mandatory in all cars. A minimum of 5BC rating required. Extinguisher, or system activator, must be located within easy reach of driver and/or safety officials (forward of front seat in all stock, production or super production type cars).
3.3.1 Extinguishers must be securely mounted with metal brackets.
3.3.2 All extinguishers, except Halon, must be professionally inspected and tagged, within 13 months of event date.
3.3.3 Tech inspectors will remove portable extinguishers from brackets, visually check pressure and turn upside down to loose extinguishing agent.
3.4 Entrants will wear long sleeve shirts and long pants made of cotton or Nomex while driving. Nomex suits are highly recommended.
3.4.1 Shoes are required.
3.4.2 Helmets will comply with current NHA Solo II Rules.

Here's the ride in the 996 GT3... hang on!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHyGi2QS7SI...feature=related

Can't believe they allowed someone holding a camera. Generally they must be mounted.

I would love to go drive that event sometime.

I think the 996 GT3 video was from an Audi Club Event that was kind of a "fun run". The NHA people seem to be a bit more hardcore.

I'll get some video. I used my buddy's GoPro for the first time.

It's a lot of fun ... not too fast ... mostly 3rd gear ... 2nd gear for the hairpins ... maybe 100mph before the green gate (I had to shift into 4th).

I was slipping and sliding on my old Bridgestone SO-3 street tires.

There are some VERY fast cars in the WHA ... how about an HCP Locust with a 500HP LS2 with HUGE wings that weighs in at less than 2000lbs. It clocked in below two minutes. It looks like the 996 GT3 in the video ran about a 2:20

That Utube clip reminds me of doing windy ridge near mount St. Helens, on my Ducati 996.

Lots of turns!

Jerry Mahoney is bringing the 911 back on Sunday morning, he painted the car in his shop, he plans to be at my house in Lake Froest Park around 9:30 AM. Thought it's a good opportunity to get some teeners together for an early coffee and a chat, maybe we can even start to get the car back together So everybody who wants to stop by in the morning is welcome, address is
19491 45th Ave NE
Lake Forest Park, WA 98155
I can offer coffee and if I know that people are planning to come I can get some toast or Croissants.

- Juergen

I want to be there. Will check the schedule and confirm

i may make this one. jerry, if you want to stop by my house for a pitstop (you'll be within 5 miles or less of my place on the way there) follow me up and i'll show you the easiest route.

k

Hey Kevin,

That sounds good to me if you know a better way than going up 5. I could be at your place about 8:30. Give me a call Saturday eve. 360-577-9171

Jerry

I-5 and off at 205th St is definitely the way to go.

I'm going to try to make it but it will be later. There's a VW meet at XXX that morning.

Good, I will get something for breakfast in the morning (Croissants, Toast, Muffins) and I have plenty of coffee. Weather forecast is partly cloudy, no rain.

- Juergen

I have a grog from Groege Town Brewery I can bring. Not exactly breakfast food but mabe later in the morning.

520 closing, people avoiding the viaduct, who knows what else will be going on in seattle. i listen to KOMO and make the dessision 405 vs I-5 prior to the 167/405 junction. i'll call sat evening jerry.
