Nice shot, Got rid of the sunroof, eh? I pulled a manual one not too far back, the sucker probably weighed 120lbs. I have a power one in my SPG...

REALLY ENJOYED THE IN-CAR FOOTAGE.....

EPIC DRIVING....

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF A HILLCLIMB OVER THERE....?

HERE IT IS A ROUND A MILE AND HALF FOR THE LONGEST,SOME AS LITTLE AS HALF A MILE...

BIRDIE

Most in New England are around 2 or 3 miles long. Mt Washington is pretty unique from a length perspective

Yeah, Mt Washington is the longest around here.

From the Mt Washington Supplementary Regs:
Description of the Course:
Location: Mt. Washington Auto Road, Rt. 16, Pinkham Notch, Gorham, NH
Telephone: (603) 466-3988
Length: 7.4 miles from the Start line to the Finish line
Composition: 13% hard-packed gravel (1.0 mile) and 87% tarmac (6.6 miles)
Start Line Elevation: 1,565 feet above sea level
Finish Line Elevation: 6,100 feet above sea level
Total Elevation Gain: 4,535 feet (from the Start line to the Finish Line)
Average Grade: 12.0%
Steepest Grade: 18.0%

Yeah, the length of Mt Washington is one thing that makes it unusual. In the normal New England hill climb series the shortest course is 1 mile and the longest is 3.6. The majority are between 2-3 miles like mongo said.

HELLO KP AERO,NOT WISHING TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM YOUR FANTASTIC WEEKEND


BUT,SO FAR IN THE UK,MOST HILLCLIMBS/SPRINTS HAVE A GOOD PERCENTAGE ON ACTUAL RACETRACKS,THE REMAINDER ARE PURPOSE BUILT ON COUNTRY ESTATES/PARKS......

NOTHING LIKE MOUNT WASHINGTON

AS A RESULT OF THIS,THERE IS A LARGE CONTINGENT OF 'SINGLE SEATER' MACHINERY,SOME EX FORMULA 3000,EVEN THE ODD EX-FORMULA 1.......

LATELY,BIKE ENGINED SINGLE SEATERS,ARE THE WAY TO GO..

JUST FOUND THIS FOOTAGE OF 'DOUNE' IN SCOTLAND.....

APOLOGIES FOR THE 1ST MINUTE....IT'S WORTH IT..

THE MANX HILLCLIMB,IS THE FIRST EVENT I HAVE BEEN TO,WHERE IT WAS 99% SALOON/OPEN CARS,AS THE ROADS ARE MAYBE A LITTLE UNDULATING FOR 'SINGLE SEATERS'............?

DOESN'T SEEM TO BOTHER THE BIKES THOUGH...?
