PA Hillclimb

Thanks for the hospitality folks-we had a great time. :P Thank you Rich and all the workers. (and I am jelous of how many workers you have!) The road suits my car perfect-this has snuck into my 2nd favorite hill with the extra turns. We'll be back in Sept. for Weatherly-gotta get there early for par...

Are there usually food vendors at the bottom of the hill?

I went on a fam run with Butch once-I'll tell the story over drinks sometime. It involved going faster backwards than forwards!

Hi folks-long time no see!
Is this going to be run from the bottom of the hill like last year-or where its started in years past?

If all the pieces come together, I'll be one of the drivers on a car at NHIS in 2 weeks. A Rabbit. Diesel.

I recieved the call last night. I"M IN! :) TIme to start getting my mind back into this hill. I also need to finish up a few things that will need to be done before the event. I'm betting someone put in a good word for you. ;-) Just got an email-dogs are only gonna be allowed in certian areas-...

Thought this would make some folks happy, Especially me! You will see the car in the photos on Dent sport garages facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dent-Sport-Garage/118314467909#!/pages/Dent-Sport-Garage/118314467909?sk=wall Looks real good-Alex does nice work. (Hes also done his share ...

Why don't you just copy to CD the audio of the co-driver notes that Travis used and play it back during your run with head phones. I'd start laughing when i got to "right 3 jiggy jiggy". Relative to the dirt section, it's more smooth than some of pavement sections. Though I'm not sure if t...

Yea--PT Gibby. Some of our discussion around here--how about we DONT have bands-jumbotron + meet+ greets fireworks--and cut the price in 1/2. It was nice when Audi was flipping the bill.

The hill is open to the general public everyday theres no snow on it. During the event, when the hill isn't being used its open to the public. (and the racers can drive up + down it as much as you'd like for free.) So you'd have all day thurs-Fri after 11am-Sat after 11am. I remember back when the l...

Ok-just got off the phone with Don Taylor. To answer a few questions: Yes--the insurance company does know the difference between a 400 hp car + a 500 hp. They did put extra restrictions in--like the turbo restrictor-and some cage update stuff to the submitted IT style cage and Hans devices. (one pl...

Actually, the dirt sections are pretty smooth-they drag + groom them.I seem to remember worse tar sections. The one place where there is a "jump" in the dirt (where you see photos from) is a 10 ft section of tar in the dirt-some run off thing. Note: you don't want to jump it-twitch to the ...

""If you ask me the rules were written by and for Red Bull and Pastrana."" Again-I have no active part in any of this with the exception of running the event in the past--and knowing the parties involved-but this is a bit harsh. When Don was trying to come up with a set of rules ...

OMG! there isn't gonna be enuff Tickle Me Elmos to go around! Order now! :P Paul Giblin does the PT Barnum thing rather well. I'll eat my hat if they get 70 cars. They never filled to capacity when the entry fee was $300? back the last few times they ran it. Getting the pre-entries is one thing-gett...

I just got the issue-had to come over to this forum to see what was being said about one of your own being famous. great article!

Ewwwww. :roll: It HAS been done-but the turnout is poor. The motor is very long front to back (in the car, between the frame rails side to side)-and its very heavy. And the power output is low. Not to mention the expense. And you'd have to do some serious ductwork to get air to the backside of the c...

I drive a dwarf car ( basically a legends made with better parts) and have worked on a few legends cars. What can I do for you?

Rich Rock liked my boat horn so much, he felt compelled to honk it each time I went to the line! :lol: Seth asked over on our email list about the origins of the front hoop rule for formula cars-along with a great history lesson of former formula cars we used to have,here is the story we got: (befor...

I think she said i hit 89-but that was pretty early in the weekend-i was still pussy-footing around there-but i doubt there would be much more. I feel better that you pros have difficulty deciding what to do with turn 5-i didnt feel like i ever got it "right" -I would get the car to turn i...

Just out of curiosity, what is the break out time at Mt Philo? I would say that there are many cars that are SCCA approved that I don't feel are 'safe' for hillclimbing in a serious wreck. Mine included. There has been at least 1 death in somewhat recent history in our series. There was a guy at We...
