Hill Climb

[deutschman]

Does anyone on R3V take part in hill climb events? I am very interested in taking part in these events in the future, and would like some more information on how to get started. I want to gear my 2002 towards entering as a modified road car in a 2600cc category.
Any websites that have good information on hill schools/events, and the different car classes and rules? I looked through the SCCA sight but could not find anything definitive.
Any pointers or tips are appreciated!

Cheers!

When I do Google searches all I get are UK sites. No help? Auto cross rules and info is easy to find.

I think I recently saw a hill climb video in the media section of a member and his E30. Try to find it an pop him a pm.

*Edit - Checked the media section and couldn't find the video, it is probably somewhere else on the forum. I do know that it was recently posted, within the past month. Anyone else know the video?

There is a set of hillclimbs that run here in PA. I work at one and take pics.

Hillclimbs fall under the Time Trial rules (formerly Solo I). Classing is usually a mix of GCR and Auto-x classes, with safety addendums to the auto-x classes. Some classes require a full cage, some allow a cross-braced roll-bar. The latter may have changed to requiring a full cage in all classes, but as far as I know, it hasn't yet.

Time trail rules are a sub-set of the GCR:

Events are usually listed in Sportscar as either HC or TT.

Some additional discussion can be found here:

While specific to Pennsylvania, the group pretty much adheres to the SCCA TT rules. One current discussion is about the fact there are so many classes as even at a well attended event (100+ cars) actual class numbers are often small.
