PA Hillclimb

Thanks Rich. Fingers crossed for a more favorable global climate next season.

I'm super late to the topic but very excited to hear the news. It was so tough to push hard at polish while never knowing how much grip would be available run to run. This will let folks build speed predictably and hopefully result in fewer offs. I look forward to it, hopefully covid is not an impac...

Thanks for the support and encouragement, Rich. I just scoped out three of the hills all today (Old WV-55, Green Mountain Road, Scherr WV) and and added some details and videos. This exercise makes me realize that a successful hill requires a lot of elements to come together, and a lot of planning! ...

Well, the Coronavirus got me bored, like a lot of other folks i assume. So i've been scouring the local(ish) areas on google maps in topographical mode looking for winding, hilly roads. I've found lots of good ones, and a smaller few that might even be candidates for future hillclimb roads. The crit...

Sounds good to me. Are the PHA Shenandoah class records based on that run format, or a flying lap format?

The track map seems to indicate will be using a standing start as opposed to pods. Is that accurate?

It looks like "white water challenges" aka "adventure campground" is nearby and had showers, bathrooms, etc. I might give them a try.

Are there any camping options at Weatherly? If so, are there any facilities?

Is "membership" my scca membership or a PHA-specific thing?

i like the idea of the tracksprint / horizontal hillclimb. no need for me to change from street to track pads! plus it's a little more like the hillclimb style of running on cold tires. while i'd be okay exchanging one of the summit point events for a hillclimb, the jefferson event will make for a n...

another thought: it may increase the challenge to run clockwise for points one day and counter clockwise for points the next.

i have run both trackcross and flying lap styles with other orgs, but haven't run with PHA. That said, i'd be in favor of whichever option is expected to result in better event flow and/or more timed runs.

i followed the process above and received an email from jon Krolewicz back on feb 19; received my "advanced" TT license a week or so ago. so the process is working.

I have current Time Trial licenses with both NASA and SCCA (WDCR), but have never done a hill climb, so i'm subscribing for news as it develops.

Awesome, I'll just bring my setup as-is and focus on fun and learning. Looking forward to it!

Greetings, from a prospective hillclimber! My car is a 2005 Mazda RX-8 that is notionally SCCA DSP (underprepped from a performance standapoint, but that's fine). I have received feedback and clarification on the safety requirements, but i wanted to ask a few general car setup questions to determine...
