Recently paved Weatherly Hillclimb

Post by Kupop »

As some of you know my parents live at the top of the Weatherly Hillclimb, and I keep some of my cars there. While heading home from the most recent autocross I never took my camera off of my windshield so I turned it on just prior to the hillclimb.

Now all of those who are not so close can see the difference in the road!

Oh my was that nice! I see they took the nasty camber out of turn 1. But a little more banking in the last turn would have been nice. Maybe like 20degrees or so?? :twisted: Thanks for the vid.
RIP Joe, my friend.

Must go faster!!!!

No problem!

The inside of turn 1 doesn't seem as banked, or cambered as much to me anymore... which I miss. However I don't think between turn 1 and 2 has such a crown on the road anymore which may allow you guys to go further out without the road throwing you into the trees. The inside of the wall seems a little steeper to me... but it isn't like you will be there while racing. They did go wide to the outside here though.

Turn 5 seems similar to me... but I never pay attention while I am going down the hill and I am on the inside of the turn.
