Yup, glad to live in PA
at my pleasure, whenever I want, just blast up the hills
I love all these videos, have most saved to my favorites already. It's sad some of the cars they wreck but at the same time, cars to them mean a lot different then what we think of some of those older cars, they don't think they should have a life of, park outside, wash, rinse, wax, put in garage in 6 moths repeat and so on, they drive em!

Another splendid 8 minutes of hillclimb awesome. No carnage and cars that will make a GRM'r seek some immediate privacy. And there is ample proof that fwd is fast and lets one drive "flat out".
Great stuff! The FWD cars in this vid that were fast seemed to me to have retained a tad of under-steer in their set up. Many of the FWD cars in the OPs vid seemed to be tuned neutral or or even loose- and many seemed to be done in by late braking and/or cold tires. FWD should work very well in hill climbs (it would seem) as the tires are not getting cooked by braking like they would on a flat course and in fact get at least part of the way to temp at the start. Great to watch so many different setups handle the same sections.
