Talking 2017 Mt Washington Hill climb

So this year after the last in 2014 I got declined , now in 2017 I got invited and accepted to this event.
This event is only happens every 3 years . I think the most dangerous road, according to many top PP people even a more technical one too. Fact is shorter then PP, about 8 mile and top is less altitude. But it is a lot steeper, lot narrower, and more trickier turns, super unpredictable road conditions / surface. Including a super sloppy clay type of dirt section.

Anyway I GOT ACCEPTED.

I am super excited. I saw many other Evos there, hope they are in this forum too and post here.

here is some infos about the event.

the short no pictures entry list:

David Higgins:


Travis Pastrana:


Ted Cook


some pictures of the road and condition, many many blind corners , humps -bumps- off camber turns . You name it.

I'm originally from NH and will be out there with my brother shooting photos. We were considering also entering a car, but the team he runs with in AER decided against it. Perhaps in 3 years we'll have an entry too.

Also, apologies, I got ahead of myself before. Congratulations on being accepted, I hope you show all those Subarus what's up.
