The film turned out to be 53 minutes long. DVDs will be available by Memorial Day. Looking forward to seeing everyone at Jefferson - http...

Click on the link here and then click on Chasing Giants. Or before you go, you could see what I've been up to lately film wi...

Hi, I have an announcement that may be of interest to some of you. After a few years of development, we will finally begin shooting a Hillclimb Documentary March 2018. Here is the info: Chasing Giants is a documentary that follows the men and women who race cars up paved roads competing in historic ...

OK - this is a long one. I threw much of this up on FB a few months ago, but there are fresh details at the end (if you don't fall asleep getting to it). Proposed Rules for the 2015 PHA Team Challenge In the past there was a fee, but this year it costs nothing to join a team. Speednation.com will be...

I just started getting entries, and 1 person already sent me $170.00 instead of $150.00. I left him a VM letting him know to just bring another check to me at registration. Tom, that is a Wanker-type of mistake. One more like that and you will end up as an honorary Wanker!

Any news? I have spend time and money to prep my car so I can run in HP. A fuel cell and new harnesses would put the budget over the top. As soon as I know, I can plan out my season. I don't want to use my FSP car for the hills anymore as it is my daily driver, and took a real beating last year. I a...

[quote="Sue Salsburg"]You're going to Mirakuya, not Mizu? That's the one on Kidder st? Sue[/quote] I think we are talking about the same one. The one we go to is on 695 Kidder St right in front of the Wyoming Valley Mall, and it is called Mirakuya. Last year, we have 25 Wankers (and adopte...

[quote="Matt Rowe"]Just so that everyone is clear, by the "pits" does that refer to just the newly paved upper section or does that include the lower section under the trees as well?[/quote] It is only the upper section. You will realize why when you see it. Also, registration wi...

Hi - we have 70 entries at this point. I just spoke to the Dankos and, as in previous years, there will be no tow vehicles or trailers allowed to park in the pits. The last 2 years the pits looked like . . .the pits. Fans never even bothered to walk through because there was so much clutter. This ye...

Glad to hear that. I am doing registration for this event, If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 412-882-3100. Several new people from the National Road Autosport ranks are coming to this event and it will be their first hillclimb. Hopefully we can get them to go to the rest of the PHA ...

Could we get this done sooner than later, so those of us who are preparing their cars can make arrangements? Please don't make a rule change 1/2 through the season, or enforce certain rules for one class that you don't for another. Just please make a decision by February, and then enforce it equally...

Thanks - I saw Bill Weaver at the bottom of the S2 results and counted him, but he was in S3. So I corrected the results. Will bring copies to Weatherly - thanks for pointing that out. I just did a re-audit of everything and it looks correct.

Thanks Carl - your team has made this year a lot more fun for me. I can't wait until the final showdown at Weatherly, assuming you haven't taken an insurmountable lead by then. I have updated everything for Duryea - great show and congrats to Jim for getting the highest point total for a single driv...

If you don't see your name here - http://www.racepa.com/content/index.php?topic=6961.80 and still want to come to the event, you can FAX your registration to me at 724-926-0215, or call me at 412-882-3100 by Thursday and Noon. As long as I can put your name, car, number and class into our system bef...

Joe - we will really miss you at Polish Mountain next weekend, but you will be there in spirit. I hope that you are feeling better and that you just went though the worst of it. I will find a cocky novice trying to slip through tech, and give them a hard time for you. Hugs to Joanne - from Mike and ...

Ron - absolutely awesome work - you are the Mann!

You RWD guys want it all. Us FWD guys have to deal with up hill starts, and when we get on the throttle, all of the weight shifts to the rear tires and we just sit and spin. Finally, we are not at as much of a disadvantage, and you guys are wining about the wheel chock. Suck it up and deal with it. ...

OK - Morg (Time Bandits) and Carl (Team Oz), and Tom (el Presidente and captain of team no name) - please log in and out up a post as to your audit of the team points that I have listed here so far (through Pagoda). Just look at the results of all 3 events, and figure out how many points you team ha...

Dave - thanks for sponsoring, and keeping track of the new awards. You could always name the "best overall" award for one of our former hillclimbers (like you did for Lloyd). I sponsor a Lynne Dehart award in my region for the "time trial driver of the year".
