I need to find some hill climb events near me to try.

 

are you referring to my lack of fire suit and shoes? next year my friend, next year.

 

Half poking fun but seriously, seen Jeremy's car from PP first hand, it's not like there's a tire wall to save you, plus gravity, plus your speeds, you sound like you know so get to it. Got a hans and wrist straps at least?

 

No I fully agree, I definitely need to get a fire suit and shoes and gloves. Maybe wrist straps too. I do have a Hans though, so there's that at least. And we are planning on installing our door bars before our next race. We had a good buddy get in a bad wreck at this last event. He didn't have a cage and did not fare well. It hit home big time.

 

hill climb in our area requires full race car tech, that includes full cage and fire suite.

 

^^and after seeing what i saw last weekend, i kinda wish our sanctioning body at least required a cage. even if that meant half the racers that were there couldn't participate and it could potentially double our entry fees, it would still be worth it.

 

yeah, streets are not built with racing in mind, not built like a track with safety features.

 

did something this weekend i havent done in a LONG time - went to a car show!

i was nervous the stanced cars would mock our not so fancy race car but it seemed to be well received - we even got 1st place in the race car category.

 

Congrats on first place

 

thanks ... although we'd rather be racing than sitting in a parking lot telling every kid that walks up what kind of turbo the car has.

they don't care about the suspension, built diffs, build motor, cage, aero ... nope - they care about the turbo! haha

 

That sounds about right. It's all about hard parking and comparing turbos.

 

And the colour of the Blow off valve
that's quite important too

 

lol

there was as subi owner with a "track" car and he was putting tire shine on the thread of his r888 - made me cringe.

i had fun asking them how they determined their AOA on the huge wings on their cars

 

bryant busted out some door bars when i was at a bday party:


and we got the dash and switch panel attached. obviously we don't like adding weight but want to make the car look more presentable - its a fine line

 

Looks good. I like the "You lift You Lose."
