I took a whole bunch of pictures this weekend and should have at least one shot of each car if not a few. Instead of posting them all, let me know your car number if you want them, and I'll post them here.

I'm still organizing everything from the weekend, but I wanted to share a couple of photos that really stood out as awesome moments while I was taking them. Seeing this kind of driving in this kind of scenery with this weekend's weather is a motorsport photographers' wet dream.

My weekend was mixed. Ran a personal best time that is the fastest 2WD time on the hill in the last 20 years I have of results.

Then I had this "Over the river and through the woods to grandma's house" crash.

I flew several feet over a deep drainage channel. Then I hit the bank on the other side and launched for the woods. However just as I achieved liftoff I found someone had placed a tree in the runway. The front bumper hit it head on when the car was maybe four feet in the air. Then I did a nice 360 degree spin and stuck the landing back on the road facing up the hill. I didn't want Don to have a hard time extracting it. :lol: I think I took out the sign after I hit the tree but I'm not entirely sure things were happening very fast.

Jesse... glad you could make it.

Any photos of 702 (green VW Golf) and 101 (red VW Jetta) would be great... plus video. I will talk with you via a PM so we can have a bit of give and take. I always put together a personal video (in car/track side) after each event to caputre the event.

Thanks
Steve

Never fly without knowing where you are gonna land. Image
Translating road racing to hillclimbing:
Proper tire selection== nothing hooks up on moss or wet leaves.
Staying on the racing line==anything paved is considered good.

Steve, I was actually hoping to get a short interview, but timing just didn't end up happening. Maybe next time. I'm especially interested in anyone who races a daily, and it's ALWAYS good to get any female to talk a bit. I find that it helps lower barriers to entry for other women, which is always a good thing.

My girlfriend is just flying back from the biggest roller derby event this year in Virginia, so I don't think I'll have much time to go through footage tonight, but I should have something ready at the end of the week. I'll happily share any footage anyone asks for, but my primary goal is to assemble a short promo video. Anyone who wants to submit footage (incar or otherwise) can just follow these instructions (I'm reposting from my thread):
To anyone who would like to contribute any kind of video, here are your instructions:
1 - Rename your video files. I've been naming them by date and car number, as that seems to give all the necessary information.
2 - Open http://owncloud.uptimefirm.com/ in your browser
3 - Login as hillclimb with the password ascutney
4 - Click to open the ascutney folder
5 - Upload your videos (click the UP arrow, then select your videos that you just renamed)

It's possible that you'll hit a maximum upload size, if you do just PM me or email me at jesse@drivendaily.org with the error message you're getting. I'll be happy to sort it out in short order.
