PA Hillclimb

hkk motorsports, pardon me if I am mistaken, but my understanding is that your hill climb series does not allow street cars with roll bars. Myunderstanding is that you have to either have nothing or a full cage. Is that true? ... If so why? There are at least two of us that would love to do some of ...

Tim, Is this event: The "Climb to the Clouds" hillclimb on the 7.4-mile course up the Mount Washington Auto Road at Mount Washington, New Hampshire is the oldest motorsport event in North America, and was first run in 1904. However, this climb has been held only sporadically since 1961. .....

Yeah really, especially if your tow vehicle stinks on gas

I checked my schedule and I have an NHRA Sport Compact evnet that weekend, so I will not be visiting NC this year. Thanks anyway.

Thanks for the link

I had my roll bar done at JT Machine in Sinking Spring.

Thanks for getting us back up

Excellent ... thanks guys

Well my car is just under 2900 lbs with me in it and I should be putting down over 400 rwhp for this year.

Think I will have problems?

... thanks for the insights.

Thanks for the feedback, Roy. Are you going to be running them again this year?

I am hearing about problems with "chunking" and the "groove of death."
I ordered them already and I paid for the shaving & heat cycling which is suppose to help the tire last longer.

Just looking for feedback.

Thanks,

I got mine from JT Machine in Sinking Spring PA.

Give Jim a call at 610-670-2727.

Nevermind, I find what I was looking for.

Thanks anyway
