Since it was Don and I at Mt Washington a s well as at every hillclimb doing tech I assume your are taking shots at our sloppy work. If it were me I would just fix it and keep my mouth shut. Guess who is not going to be making any more special trips to someone's pit to tech their car because they n...

The current rules state: "5. GENERAL AA. Kill Switch 1. Switch to cut off / isolate battery power throughout the car, obviously marked with standard lightning bolt symbol and off position is clearly marked. " The way the kill switch is currently wired in Lincoln's STI, it just cuts the bat...

I did not realize that our current rules ban traction/stability control in the Prepared classes. The 2013 Technical and Safety Requirements read: 2. CHASSIS. BB. Dual System 1. Any device that actuates the brake independent of driver control shall not be allowed, except for Formula Libre. Devices t...

It's never too early to get ready for the 2015 season, so let's get first in line for reserved numbers for 2015!
Margaret will be driving Lincoln's car and re-use his #11.
I will continue to use #506 in the pesky Vette!

Thanks and Happy New Year to everyone!

Happy New Year!

Hopefully the mini will have recovered from its last 'heated' run!
Looking forward to see you with the Porsche next year. Just Okemo or also trying Burke?

Breakout times too slow or fast? Adjust the numbers without any scientific methodology in a proposal. Doesn't have to be rocket science to propose a different time. I don't really have a reference but do you see an increase in breakouts? When I saw the golf broke out by more than 10secs at Ascutney...

Too many of us have built a car to a class set of rules to willingly move. I know that if P3 were eliminated or opened up to what is now the P2 displacement allowance, I would simply stop racing as I have no desire to turbocharge my car and do all the other upgrading that would require, which is wh...

You might as well forget the notion of counting all events. That might work for championships featuring pro level race teams but there are way too many things that can legitimately keep good working hillclimbers from being at every event to essentially make it mandatory in order to be successful in...

I think that in In U class - where engine modifications are not allowed at all - using engine displacement as the basic value to determine power, yields the largest performance discrepancies between same class cars. Without doing a lot of study and a fair amount of math I dont know if using publish...

They assume all manufacturers put equivalent wheels on their cars. For example, on the Datsun, I have to start with 14x5.5 wheels, where something like a Corvette would be an 17x9.5 (or wider) without penalty. Just getting to the point where I can buy decent tires, I'm looking at a 3.5" modifi...
