Not sure if anyone is into this kinda shit or not, its usually tough to watch as a spectator at certain events due to obvious safety reasons. The Mt. Philo climb is a good one, usually at least one person wrecks into a tree. [http://www.hillclimb.org/](http://www.hillclimb.org/) Okemo II: August 7-8, 2010 Burke II: August 28-29, 2010 Mt.

Oh hai. I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile. Hopefully I can finish my car before the end of the season. ---

The likely hood of you crashing in a hillclimb is exceedingly higher than HPDE. If you can’t afford to replace it, don’t HC. Alot of the cars I’ve built or caged for HC customers are no longer around ☹ I used to attend these events all the time. Past few years have been difficult with family and business soaking up the time. ---

The drivers and they strong encouraged just showing up and driving - regardless of talent and machine. but if your up to a good rivalry theres a pair of mk1 bio diesels and mk3 tdi’s that are putting down decent times. ---

Hillclimbs are fun. Unlike a HPDE track day, you are the only one on the “track” so someone else cannot be the cause of your incident. At a hillclimb, you are in complete control of how fast you drive. Have a spirited run up the hill will be a lot of fun and a lot less risk that trying to get a really, really good time. Events left this year… Okemo (this weekend) which is VERY fast; Burke, which is fast, but with a lot of switchbacks; and then my favorite… Ascutney, 29 blissful turns that mix fast and corners in one package. The last event of the season is Philo… fun hill with a lot of runs. Burke: Ascutney: Okemo: Steve ---

After seeing your truck in your signature… Yes. (insert “it’s a small world” music here)
