You deserve more stars.

It was a shame-very first pass up the hill for the car. He was lucky it was a fairly safe place to go off. Gotta give the rock pile more respect than that fresh out the gate.

That

That’s not all he broke. We went up to the big house Monday morning. I saw the stage drivers washing their windows. I see the windshield was broken. “What happened?” ‘We were up at Cragway with a bunch of Subaru bigwigs. When Travis went by he got 3 windows!”

Anyone cheer for me? Dusty -got any video of me going by?

Yes. Every 3 years. This is a big event to do and its put on by a small club.

Don’t forget that there was another .8 mile of dirt back then. And the lower section that was dirt (around 1 mile) is now the fastest section of the hill.

Really? Name a year it was cancelled? I’ve run it in pouring rain and I’ve run it almost totally blind in the clouds. But its never been cancelled.

Show me a Caddy shell that has its floors + shock towers intact for $1500 and I’ll drive 2 times zones to buy it.

Read headline hoping it meant they were ditching the Waltrips. Left disappointed.

Belts don’t work if they’re not tight enough either. And a Hans does nothing in a side impact. Signed, an owner of one of those ‘half-assed’ devices.

You can make an awesome hillclimb car with a bunch of downforce-and spring it to hold it up accordingly. Or you can make it soft + compliant to handle the bumps. This is the first one.

Its easy to see-he was late + offline to the little right kink-which put him really late for the hard left. He already had the tires loaded trying to turn in + locked them up when he crammed on the brakes. Luckily what he rolled into was soft grass + not trees.

And she swears like a sailor.

That thing is so French it shit baguettes.

Yes on a wagon.

Took my drivers test in a 1969 Plymouth Belvedere wagon. 318. Manual steering. Manual drum brakes. I qualify to tell how bad things were in the old days.

They did. Off + on from 1962 to 1989. (I worked for the importer for the last go-round from 84-89.) They were going to have to federalize a new motor and the cost was going to be too high. ($250k to be spread out over maybe 175 cars a year when the cars were selling for $25k.)

Hate staring you-but yea...
