Rose Valley Hillclimb - Trout Run, PA
Don Newcomer at the 2001 Rose Valley Hillclimb Rose Valley Hillclimb is located just north of Williamsport, PA, off Route 15 in the town of Trout Run, PA. It began life in 1967 and has been a favorite of many drivers, thanks in part to the warm welcome extended to all by this small rural community. This is a hill with a dual personality. Leaving the start line you get up to speed very quickly as there is only a slight elevation change on the bottom portion of the hill. You encounter several turns that are fast and leave one to decide whether to brake or to brake and downshift are required for a fast run through this lower section. Suddenly, as you exit the last of these turns, you are met by the second phase of this hill - Big Bend - a steeply rising hairpin turn. From here on its uphill through series of kinks and bends that require your utmost attention before reaching the finish line.
