in-car video Chasing the Dragon Hill Climb
We took the cup car to the SCCA Chasing the Dragon hill climb near Robinsville NC this past weekend. It was a blast! I have never been to a hill climb before so we figured we would give it a shot. It was a great weekend. The course is a road in a state park near the tail of the dragon. It's an old, very bumpy paved road with a lot of gravel/dust and very little run off. It was 2.4 miles long measured out on a gps with 1000ft of elevation climb from bottom to top.
The car did great on such an unfamiliar surface. The Hoosier slicks we used did extremely well and provided way more grip than we anticipated we would have on such a rough section of road. There were several purpose built hill climb cars along with a few formula and DSR cars running. The only other Porsche there was Rock Webb in his early 911 stock class racer. We did very well and managed to set a new course record while taking home the "king of the hill" ftd award.

Did you change the suspension settings much? Looks like a pretty bumpy ride compared to what you're normally driving on with those heavy springs/stiff shocks.
Hillclimbs are a lot of fun although not without danger. Big events in Europe with some very fast cars.
Where did you finish on the day?

It is official, we need to put you on some sort of medication....
Every time I watch that video and hear the gravel hitting the car, and remeber that you are on slicks, makes me almost look sideways at it waiting for the crash to happen. Must be a Southern thing (again...), or the water, or something....
I think I'll have to put the Friedman gang, and Travis too because he lost it a loooooong time ago, on some sort of rescue MENTAL med.....
