JohnD Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Well done! If that was you driving. Gosh, that would be a quick road, if it wasn't for the chicanes. How long is it - 2 miles or so? Sad, but I suppose I'll never get to join you! Not in competition but just for more hill climbing, here's an attempt of mine at our local Hill Climb, Barbon. Shortest in the UK, but like yours, what a location! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Looks like a good event. Much longer than a typical UK event (30 - 60 seconds usually) and course much more open. What sort of range of vehicles do you get? Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN68Sprite Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Barbon looks like fun. A short course indeed, but a beautiful view from the top and a great collection of vehicles. The Waumandee course is 1.9 miles long. The fastest time last year was 2:16, in Jeremy's highly modified blue Spitfire that you see in the video. Other competitors' vehicles can be seen at the end of the clip when Jeremy pulls into the paddock at the top of the hill. I placed he haybale chicanes strategically to slow drivers down in the straight sections. The event is run through our Minnesota Austin-Healey Club and we get a nice mix of vintage cars. Second fastest up the hill was this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro. His one-handed steering scares me: We also had a couple Merlyns, but they weren't trying as hard as Jeremy in the Spitfire or Ryan in the Camaro: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteClan Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 My attempt at the St Goueno Hillclimb in France a couple of years ago. Will be there again this this year. Pete Richards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Very nice, Pete! Tres Belle! And another in a lovely setting - hillclimbs in general are so much nicer than the semi-industrial environs of a race circuit. And thanks MN68! Seems you have started a thread for hill climb videos - more! More! John PS Mn68 - please! a real name? J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
