Novice Hill Climb Event Primer • You will need to have your vehicle inspected by a technical steward. o If this includes a first time SCCA roll-cage inspection you will need to be at the event early enough for this to take place – if possib...

Re: Feedback on PM

I can honestly say that I thought I had read everything that I could find and everything that came with the registration confirmation!

Not to mention the many posts I had here prior to heading to the event.

Not being defensive - again I'm happy to try to help the next newbie that comes along...

Feedback on PM

Great event, great venue, great people, great everything... But, just a little feedback from a 100% newbie... It would be very helpful to get a little clearer instruction on the "flow" of events, the expectations of what to bring with you to meetings etc. and much clearer guidance on when ...

Big THANK YOU To PHCA

Just wanted to say, thank you to everyone at PHCA, this board and the people of Flintstone for helping make my Polish Mountain experience a success.

What a nice bunch of people, a great course, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Arm Restraints ?

Last question - I think...

If I am running an open cockpit Miata with a full cage AND center net AND window net do I also need arm restraints ????

Need to know ASAP so I can get them ordered in time to leave...

Thanks

Re: Inspection Clarification Please

This seems to be a bit of a sticking point since I have no idea what class I will be in! The site says something like, "We'll find a place for you..." I am running a Miata. It is NOT spec. It is road legal - with a VA State Inspection It is fully race prepared (gutted) with a full, profess...

Inspection Clarification Please

Is the SCCA tech. inspection form all I need to run Polish Mountain? OR Is there some kind of formal SCCA inspection with a SCCA "sticker" of some kind that I need? I cannot find anyone in the Richmond VA area that is a "sanctioned SCCA" inspector. I just dropped my car off at a ...

Video - Data For Polish Mountain?

Anyone willing to post their video for a run up Polish Mountain for me?

Data overlay would be great as well.

Heck, if you are willing a talk through would be even better!

Re: Head Restraint 36 sq. in. X 1"?

Gotcha -

Sounds like that is all taken care of with a real, properly fitting, racing seat (Sparco Sprint V) and a well designed roll cage.

I forget that folks run antiques and other unique vehicles that might pose some problems in that area.

Thanks

Re: Head Restraint 36 sq. in. X 1"?

And if your head/helmet will never come anywhere near the roll cage in a roll-over - accident situation?

I had my cage installed so I have a "broomstick" plus 2".

And if your roll cage is a custom design that has some complex curves and gussets in that general area?
