PA Hillclimb

About that camera: You can save about $500.00 by getting the 55-200mmVR lens, OR, just get the kit lens and save more.

NIkon D40 with 18-200mm Vibration reduction lens. A great digital SLR for the price.

One too many Lions Heads at mid day.....there is a typo in my earlier response, but then you can figure that out. Cheers

OH NO...car nuts talking about beer....maybe a hillclimb get started.

OH YEAH.....slot machines at turn around!!

From 1963 to 1966 I drove a '58 Porsche 1600N Speedster. The Navy interrupted for a bit, and in 1969 I returned in an Autodynamics FV. Willie Ascher was a real champion, very had to beat...I was only able to do that one time (Giant). Garth Hickoff, another formidable adversary, is still around. He c...

Maybe "ScirRocket" would be a better name for it.

Dave - I might have a photo, but have to search a bit. How soon do you need it? Hard copy or via email? Size? (If hard copy)
I think it was green and had the engine sticking out of the hood (?)

Be quick...go for the gears! Of course you have to factor in how much Interstate driving you may do with you car. But a lot of us have learned that the right gears are often more important than engine work. (This coming from guy who never raced anything with more than 1600ccs). Perhaps enough HP can...

Congrats on the new crew member!! John

As was the Caldwell D-13 Formula Vee, I had two, one of which is still campaigned by Keith Bower.

Mike,
As soon as the PHA photo album is up and available again, I will, as promised get some of your work posted there....with proper photo credit.
And again, great work! John Pitman FV95

MY previous response should end with: I am in the same situation.

If you mean an SCCA Novice Permit for club racing, the answer is yes, it is valid license for Time Trials. (So I have been told by the powers that be....I am in the situation).

Pennsylvania's furlough of state employees is over. Hopefully the necessary documentation will flow through the process.

The event was well done, very well done. I want to take just a moment to compliment the "class" of novices we have this season. These new drivers (at least new to our hills) have conducted themselves very well, and drove rather well, some walking off with well earned trophies. With inciden...

I once (at least once) ran an event titled Pocono Hillclimb and there was a fairly hard right turn that crossed a short (but stone walled) bridge. Unfortunately I am no longer sure of the location.

It was bad enough that there was no fuel....but that was mitigated by the up front notice....so we brought our fuel...no big deal. HOWEVER, there was no word that the beer distributer at the bottom of pit lane was out of business. Good thing the die hards carry a few extra cases....count me in as a ...

D.Danko's time was 44+....Scary fast!!! I was dealing with the novices this weekend: Besides the comments already noted above, they added that they loved the event from registration through the end. ATTABOYs to Tom and Gail Knorr for their outstanding efforts, and a big thank you to Joe Foering, Kur...

Ron - Thanks for the memories! OK, so my age is showing, but I remember: Sam Price, a friend, a serious club racer, we once cannibalized my AH 100-4 to keep his race car in competition; Harry Reynolds in the "Torking Dog," a Morgan that had to run in modified because it had a cross-flow he...
