Hill Climbing and AutoX vids and commentary

[SVXRide]

Ben has stated that the RaceCar is actually going to compete in the Polish Mountain Hill Climb this year (2008), which just happens to be in scenic Flintstone, MD (just a stone's throw from OT's place). In honor of this, I've started up this thread with the video from last year's fastest time (yes, it appears to be owned by a Honda Civic).

Cool, all we have to do is beat a Honda??? That sounds easy enough

Here's another video from a Mustang... He didn't do quite that well

Can you say "OUCH!" ?

So, where does one find the rules for competing in hill climbing? August is definitely a ways off

For Chike - an RX-8 (going reaaaaaalllllyyyyy slllllloooooooowwww)





For the "Next Step" SVXi owners - a Camaro running in ESP (the next step for SVX owners after GS)




Okay, so ignore the fact that the camera dropped off of its mount


Notice a couple of things about FedEx -- 1. at no time can you actually see the entire course, 2. yes, the course has an uphill and downhill aspect, 3. there are always at least 2 (if not 3) cars on the course at the same time

Yeah it's a way off, but you're car will probably still be sitting in YT's lot till next year

Here is PHA's forum.

Dave,
Thanks! Naw, Racer X is getting picked up this Thursday (along with the old engine and 4HEAT). I'm thinking the the SVreX II might just be a candidate for hill climbing duties
