Well, this past weekend I went ahead and took the ole evo out to my 1st hill climb event, I wasn't really planing on doing it but my buddies were begging me to go and helped out to get the car out there. The hill was only 15 miles away from where I live, so it worked out nicely.

Anyway, I ended up winning the SM class and came within 2.5 seconds of the hill climb record for the SM class on this hill.

After getting home and watching the videos I knew where I made my mistakes and was off my lines in a few areas, but can't complain as this was my 1st time out.
Kinda crazy getting upto 120+mph on the last stretch on this hill with ever so slightly curves. The last bend would pucker up my butthole pretty good approaching it at 120+mph.

During the middle part of the 1.7 mile hill it looks slow in the video, but I was taking these corners at about 60-63mph:cool:
1st stretch and last stretch of the hill were the most exciting parts as that was where I could really stretch her legs out and open her up, and she loved it!!!:D

Anyway, here is a couple of pics of the car on the hill, notice in the 2nd photo the back rear tire is almost off the ground:eek:

And here is the video, sorry for the bad glare from the windshield, it was bright as hell outside this weekend and the camera would not focus right with my windows being tinted and all.
Oh and don't mind the rear tire rubbing, it sounds loud in the video since the camera is right above the rear wheels, but it just so ever so slightly rubs on the passenger side, doesn't even leave a mark.
Enjoy!:D

Well done! It would be nice to see some videos from outside the car too.
Thanks, and not sure if anyone got any video from the outside, I hardly knew any of the guys at this event as I'm a newbie to this sport, but I think I'm hooked:p If I find any outside video of it I will post it up.

Nice! That's gotta be a blast roaring up and then down that hill in an evo that quick.
lets just say it took me 2 hours that night to take a dump since the ole poop shoot was still puckered up:p I haven't had a rush like that in years. Before my 1st run of the event I was shaking like a leaf, but after the 3rd pass I was starting to calm down and trust the car more.

I get nervous like that with just local autocrosses. lol. I have to try a hill climb event soon.
 
Sweet Jake! I thought when you said you was at a hill climbing event it was dunebuggys, trucks, etc going up mountains. Congrats!

When I read hill climb I totally thought it was Pikes Peak style. Dirt and all.

I'm glad it wasn't though. I would hate to see your car go through that rock punishment. lol
I don't think I would ever put this car on a dirt hill climb, all the hill climbs over here (2 in total locally) are paved.
The next one isn't until sept. And that is bogus basin hill climb, the bogus hill climb is a 10x's smoother surface then freeze out (the hill in the video) and much wider, so I will be able to carry allot more speed and get a little more balzy with it;)
 
Hell yea Jake! Somethin about uphill awd drifting huh! It just teases me on the gsxr. Bikes just want to wheely.
