Matt:

My Scirocco is Jack Weigand's old car. I rescued it from Virginia and brought it back to the hills.

Ah yes, now it comes back to me...

I couldn't remember whether Joe and I were talking about Mark or Jack... Damn, I'm still too young to forget stuff like that this quickly...

It's not a matter of forgetting, just allocation of available resources.

This may be off the subject of hillclimbing but I forgot what we were discussing.

Overall I had a great time! After the "fog" lifted on Saturday and I was able to see the hill on Sunday, I thought it was a fun hill! Was great to see everyone after a long winter...very long winter!

I look forward to running the hill again next year...and hopefully do better.

My only recommendation would be to move tech to the hill to eliminate the logistical "off-loading and on-loading" of cars on/off trailers.

They had a early 60's police car that was from the Herhey Museum. And during breaks they would chase a Austin Healy(street car) up the hill with the sirens on. It would have been funnier if they chased Rich Rock during a run.....and actually caught him !!!! I thought it was a well run event. But racing there for the first time, i wish they had someone like Jim Cosner to show you the hill. also, no one explained how cars would be staged. Saturday wasn't a problem because as soon as you were done with your run, you just got back in line again. Sunday it was a different story because of the amount of cars running. But, i felt it ran smoothly. Helmets off to all organizers and support crew.

A cop did catch me at Mid-Ohio a few years ago. He pulled me over during a lunchtime parade lap!

He let me go with a warning. Actually, it was more of a threat...

A good article and several pics from Hershey are in the Sept issue of Classic Motorsports magazine.

It is true that Hershey gets quality coverage in Classic Motorsports. Thanks to James Heine and the editors for giving our sport such great coverage. I hope that with the Blueridge Hillclimb DVD and these articles that a certain organization in Kansas might start to take notice. I think we're starting to see some new interest due to the new TT program.
