We are really going to try to make it to this. Anyone that hasn't run here before, do anything you get to make it to this event, Nelsons is an amazing track.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will have to see how things get set up and where people put their service vehicles. I dont care how far away the trailer is but the van needs to be reasonably handy to wherever my car ends up, and I will need to be able to drive it at the end of each day. The Foundry ...

My first time at Weatherly. I have read the info on the PHA page regarding the event. Still have a couple logistics questions. We are staying in a hotel a few minutes away from the hill in Hazelton and expect to bring the van, car and trailer (open) over Friday morning. Is there someone pointing ou...

Should be DSP.

Weatherly is a great hill for a first event. Welcome!

I don't find it necessary to run Jefferson the way Shenandoah was ran. The trackcross style format we ran there in the fall was a necessary evil, with Jefferson IMO it isn't needed for drivers to get a sufficient amount of runs.

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 determin...

What hills are you planning to attend? Most camp but there are usually hotels nearby.

I took a look at that video, It looks like I have some work to do in terms of my suspension. I never built my car to deal with the bumps and lumps found on these roads. Some people say you need a different setup than you would need for track or autocross, but my car isn't setup any differently. Ove...

Thank you!

Looks to me like you would be a good fit in SMX, which has very similar rules to XP in autocross, with a cage requirement. If you have a 6 point you should be good to go. Looking forward to having you.

Hell yeah. Thank you to all involved for even attempting to make this happen.

Lot looks terrible. Anyone find anything else? I'm down

Car 1711 white Honda Civic? Thank you!

Car #53 (only took one run) and car #188? Thank you!

Pretty sure they are R7s

A7/R7 is street legal. You drive many competition miles on the hills with them, they will be fine for an easy 4 mile drive to the hill. I used to drive mine to events 2 hours away when I was younger and dumber.
