I would assume your talking "Pikes Peak" style? Haven't heard of anything and nothing here in Michigan.........................but we have very few hills

There's a hill climb series here in CO, at least 2 or 3 events a month. Ask around with the local rallysprint/rallycross guys.. they would probably know?

Actually, there are quite a few. We run two weekends at Burke Mountain, two weekends at Okemo, two weekends at Ascutney and one weekend at Mount Philo. All of the above are in VT.

Go to www.hillclimb.org for schedule and tech requirements.

No prob. Not sure what your racing backround is but you should know that an "off" at a hillclimb has the potential to be very, very expensive. If you're lucky the runoff area means you air the car out down a ski slope instead of into the woods/stone wall/drainage ditch. Not to mention that the tech reg's are pretty strict, anything save for a CAI, cat-back, or strut change will bump you into Street Prepared and mandate a full cage. Those comments aside, a stock Evo with the right driver was still good enough to net third place overall two weekends ago at Okemo. Second was a STi, first a Porsche 911 AWD turbo.
