PA Hillclimb

Coming home from Weatherly last year i followed some people to Reading and their way was very quick and direct and of course i cant remember how we did it. Mapquest says: 61N right onto 895 left onto 443 309 N Right onto Ben Titus Rd Ben Titus turns into Quakake Quakake becomes Brenkman Brenkman bec...

Cool stuff, i was just curious about the older technology. So they would still run the electrical wires up the hills and the pnuematic triggers would start and stop the clock. I am assuming that only one car could be on the hill at a time with this setup. When did we switch from the pnuematic trigge...

I was just looking over some of these old pictures and was wondering how timing was accomplished throughout the years. Im assuming electronics were used pretty far back, early 60s? What was before that, a stop watch with a long string that went to the top of the hill? Were multiple cars on the hill ...

Well i left for a cross country trip the day after the derby and just got back. Man what a hoot. It rained the entire day which slowed people down and caused people to get stuck knocking them out of the race prematurely. The mud also completley ruined my good race helmet and nomex gloves, thank god ...

This sunday is the Junk car race in Birdsboro at the Pagoda Motorcycle club. So get all rednecked out and come watch me smash a car that i spent a lot of time building into a bunch of other cars other people spent a lot of time building. Fun times. Go to the website for directions. So bring some col...

Darnit...Not being rich is preventing me from participating in another awesome experience. This really is a good concept though. If this was a true reality show, you would take a poor to average wannabe racer (me) and put him against the rich guys who can afford the entry fee. IF it is succesful you...

I may be interested in helping you, i worked this rally two years ago with the Sekellas. Fun times, i loved right as it was getting dark as the cars entered our turn and you could see the rotors and turbos glowing bright red!!! Send me an email with some info to bimmerbumm@msn.com. That cage is amaz...

I was just checking some stuff on a bmw forum and saw that Philly SCCA does a winter auto x series. This one is on sunday at the Phillies Stadium, check motorsportreg.com and Phillyscca.com for info. If i can dig out the neon i guess i will take it, if not it will be the new-to-me 1996 328i (bone st...

Insurance gave me more than 8k for it, and they want a bit over 2k to buy back, so i wanted about 2500 for it so i can make a few bucks. But i think they are taking it away today so oh well. How much of a problem would it be if i kept my ECU, its aftermarket and i can sell it. And i am not too happy...

Where is the ITE thread. The insurance company wants too much money for me to buy back the car. They say since it was a rear ended low milage good condition car that its worth a lot salvage. So i guess im not making a racecar, damnit. If anyone wants it for 2500 bucks before monday they can have it....

Oh, by the way Dave, Did i see you car on ebay a little while back?

Thanks Dave, I Think i get it now. I think i saw somewhere that the A4 is G stock in Solo but PHA rules would override that because of the turbo thing and bump it to SM. Well running stock would just be embarrassing in SM. Is there a limit to the size of turbo you may use in SM, if not there might s...

My street car was recently rear ened by a cell phone talking, not paying attenion, SUV bLeeping person!!!! I am waiting for the insurance stuff to go through, but i am pretty sure its totalled. But.. it still runs and drives awesome and a rear bumper and turnk lid would make it look acceptable, so i...

I apoligize that this is not hillclimb related, but the BMR site doesnt seem to be up to date. Just wondering where the results for the REading autocross are. I cant find them on the Greater Reading Auto Expo site.

THanks

Matt,

Sounds good, i have no problem waiting till summit. See yall there.

Didnt get the private message, im not sure if they take a few minutes or not, either way, you can try to resend or just call me at 484-824-1661.

Bob, Talk about brain fade...John handed me the logbook, we opened it up and went through it, talked about the time trials license process, all the while it was your book not mine!! I noticed it last night when i got home. I can mail it to you if you want, i live in morgantown, if your close i can m...

This is my first year, and Giants blew me away, especially the independance day antics. I live 15 min from Reading and have been to Pagoda and Duryea the last few years and i do not understand why nobody goes to them. REading is TWICE as large as Wilkes-barre and almost no one comes to the hillclimb...

What is the camping/pit area like at Polish. Is camping close to pits, food vendors, large locals turnout like giants. Just want to know what stuff to bring.
