Ran into that before too, few years back I drove and Dad trailered his 911 cab 700 miles to Barber, only to find that the Friday we were traveling they decided to impose the arm restraints on all convertibles. None to be had nearby

Drove the road for the first time. Video's or pics do not do this hill justice. It's freaking insane!
It is insane, I just got back from a Mini's on Top drive. It's just something everyone should experience.

Good Luck guys, be safe.

Here is a link to some pics from Mike.

You will see the spots that you sure as heck don't want to go off!



Rob, tech has been pretty tuff for alot of folks.

We have been fortunate to be pitted next to the big patron car hauler (think, as good as it gets) and huge tent setup of Randy Hale. Very good guy and they have been nothing but friendly to offer up their compound.( (it didn't hurt that they are driving a black evo as their personal vehicle.)

Our rules (rally cars) was posted and stated we will have comply to. Rally America rules. Also there no rally car on the face of the world has them. Absolutelly unneccesery in the rally car. So that is why so far not one rally car had it. We ordered a pair and this is how most of us passed the tech, if you know what I mean . The hill is awesome ! So far the best riad and exoperience in the USA hands down.

I think Jeremy placed 4th overall for practice Friday. Like to see what he could do in the dry.

Just looked it up; that's great!

He's got a shot to finish second behind Dave Higgins who runs in the Rally America Series for Subaru (and who oddly enough won a ton of races for the Mitsu factory Team during it's heyday....maybe Jeremy can ask for some pointers )

Morning results are up: http://climbtotheclouds.com/general-info/results/

(Practice doesn't count and practice times can be very misleading.)

Overall, it's Higgins' to lose and Rob has less than a second lead in R1. Rather exciting.

Rob won R1. Woo hoo! Higgins set a new record, about 9 s faster than Travis Pastrana's time.

Thank you!
I am flatterd to be a winner of th rally class. Even make it more for me there wasn't any faster rally car then us, including the US Ford factory driver Chris Duplessis and many other big name in rally including Canadian racers too.

This was a great weekend and I am happy to finally meet with Jeremy too! He is an awesome driver !
