no SCCA TT level 3 or 4 license

and yep your assessment (at least as far as hill climb goes) fits pretty well

I'll be manning a corner on Saturday - no car, license, time, or money to compete, yet.....

No, you're a sissy for not providing a linky thing!

Calls people sissies for not doing Dragon Hillclimb, isn't doing Mt. Washington.

Oh, Mt Washington is on my list. They are sorta picky about who gets to enter, need a few more events on my resume first. The guy who runs this event has been accepted for this year's Mt W. and will be driving this:

Here's the linky thing:

I worked a corner in 2012, it was a blast!

Well, didn't go so well for me. The rear rotor appears to have decided to carbon lock an apex seal, no HP, no boost, coolnt temps higher than I'd like. So I put it on the trailer while I still had something to fix. But at least I got to drive the MegaBusa, dayumn that thing is FAST. Also the worker social was a good time, including some natural mountain elixir.

My wallet is a sissy. Hopefully, it will toughen up next racing season so I can at least attend one of the races.

Was this, or one like it there? I don't remember reading about Silver-Cars before. Looks a bit homely and powered by a bike engine. I bet it can scoot up a hill though.

Nice run Allen. How much time do you think you could shave off if it were totally dry?

Wow, that looks like a fast hill. Drag strip compared to some of our hills.

That video really shows how bumpy the road is and your LeGrand was one of my 12 year old son's favorites; great run. I have a good friend who competes with an NB Miata. Foot to the floor in 3rd with a lift here and there.

It's pretty fast with a bumpy surface. Isn't so much of a drag strip once you start making power. I took a "spirited" run up and down the last weekend of July.

I did Mt Washington as a tourist in a Chrysler 200 a couple weeks ago. Does that count? I had to have hit about 25MPH at one point...

The biggest cost for me was getting a bar wielded in . . . After that, it wasn't that bad.

If you show up on Friday, you can take the class and get a rookie license . . .

You'll need to log in to post.
