It's Not All Fun & Games...Hill Climb Realities

Post by Ron Mann »

In this thread we'll learn, visually, that hill climb racing can be a little rough on man and machine

Fred Brandt Jr. shows some front end damage to his BP Corvette...Fred, from Hershey (had to throw that one in) was a multi FTD winner and record holder. Fred got off course at Giant's Despair.

That was one FAST Mustang!!! And the bark that would come from the pipes even made my "Chevy" friends smile. I don't have any digital pics from my happening but if anyone does feel free to post them.
