Thought I'd share the thrills of hillclimb time trials.

Here are some highlights from the HILLHO MR2, ending with this DNF:

what BOV is on there? i love it. also props for the 2,the rain must have slowed down times alot.

HILLHO 08-23-2010 08:07 PM

The BOV is a TurboXS RFL; and turbo is Greddy TD06 at 14psi.
My times were in the 160's wet vs 127-130 (seconds).
Glad you could make it! 100 cool cars pushed to the limit!
The was some serious carnage, too.

Glad to see the coverage of such a cool event...60 years! Even Roger Penski drove it! There's such history, glad to be a part of it.

You need a rollbar and fire suit and some other silly safety gear.

Doesn't every street car have fire suppression? :)

Any cost to spectate?

HILLHO 08-28-2010 07:59 AM

You may use an extinguisher (all metal) or on-board system.

The New England series allows you to run with bare minimum...just a Snell approved helmut and extinguisher, long sleeve shirt and pants. Windows up. Providing you don't exceed the "break-out time". Then you'll need a full cage and gear. You can start racing in your daily driver! Wearing your regular seat belt. It's not an SCCA event.

The Mid-Atlantic series is an SCCA event, In a "street class" minimum only a roll-bar, 5 or 6 point harness, arm restraints or window net, plus a fireproof race suit, gloves, shoes, Nomex socks, and extinguisher.

Entry fees for the weekend usually around $150.
