Re: Polish Mountain Hillclimb 2014
Elezar took a quick spin on my windey road tonight before we loaded The Racer onto the trailer and delivered it to The Polish Mountain Hillclimb in Flintstone Maryland.
 I was really moved just watching The Racer run down the road! E will have an in car camera running when he goes up the mountain. Wish him well, and if you can, come on out, Saturday and Sunday!

Re: Polish Mountain Hillclimb 2014
Well, day one is in the bag. Other than a minor suspension adjustment being needed, the day was relatively uneventful......that's a good thing. After several clean runs with decent times the car is not in the woods and it's all in one piece still, so it was a good day.
Tomorrow I'll start whittling my times down. Huge thanks to OT for letting me drive and for all the preparation on the car. Photos and video coming soon.......

Good job keeping it on the road. Give them hell tomorrow.

"It stopped just an inch from the guardrail and not a scratch
"Elezar, the dry cleaners refused to touch the seat cover, what should I do with it now?

Re: Polish Mountain Hillclimb 2014
Racer sounded great! Looked like you were still getting used to all of OT's upgrades to it (?) How'd it feel?

Re: Polish Mountain Hillclimb 2014
Yes it did sound really good expecially the echoing through the hills after the first corner.
Felt really good too. It was just kind of an 'off' weekend for me. I was a couple seconds slower than last year and I had a bad feeling that trying to beat that would end very badly. Then I spun it with a bad downshift and after that I just wasn't focused enough to do anything but crash so I quit a little early on Sunday while it was still in one piece. I got through the event and a satisfactory signature on my permit so now get my license. That was really the goal.
