Re: GRM NSX article

I know the name Ted Claus from PHA. I don't know him personally and can't help at this point. I'll ask some questions.

Re: Mt. Washington Hillclimb is on for 2014!

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see Mt Washington mentioned in that link.

Re: Mt. Washington Hillclimb is on for 2014!

Pick another class. You don't need no stinkin' navigator-you won't get lost. ;) It's not a matter of getting lost. For me (a real old fart) it's going to be tough to learn the whole course, much harder than a "normal" hillclimb where you have only 9 real turns like at Duryea. I still have...

Re: Mt. Washington Hillclimb is on for 2014!

I wonder how that's going to affect the entry of some little guy like us being accepted in the rally class. I may have to find a Hillclimb class to run in.

Re: Mt. Washington Hillclimb is on for 2014!

Access to the top of a taco installed in the roof bars in a closed car would typically require the roof be removed. Not necessarly, I've been told (after I cut a hole in my roof to have it done). Leave the taco basicly flat (maybe not flat, but bent 90 degress, not 180), weld the top half, bend it ...

Re: Protocol for workers at turns (worker stations)

While I don't know the specifics of the systmes. I do know that until last year we were using wire laid from the bottom to the top of the hills (sounds alot like you described your system). One problem we had that you probably don't have is that the roads we use are public roads and therefore the wi...

Re: Protocol for workers at turns (worker stations)

Thanks for all your input. I found out last night that this past Duryea, for the first time, they started calling at only selected points, which I think is good for our hill. If you call every corner\worker station, there's a call every 10 seconds or so, way too much. And as stated, our radios aren'...

Re: Protocol for workers at turns (worker stations)

The only hill of yours that I'm familiar with is Burke. Would you only have 6 or 7 on that hill? The way PHA runs, we'd probably have 20 or more!

Protocol for workers at turns (worker stations)

In the PHA, we have the corner workers calling out every car number as they pass. With a hill like Duryea, there can be 4 or 5 cars on the hill at the same time and it causes alot of "traffic" on the net. I think some of it is unnecessary, to call every turn. Particularily on some portions...

Re: Climb to the Clouds - Thank You!!!

Thanks to everyone involved. Everyone at Mt Washington and Burke Mt 2 weeks earlier made us feel very welcome. My son and I had a basicly problem free weekend for both events and look forward to coming back to more in the future. We didn't win anything except any time I can drive the car on the trai...
