Found myself a potential hill climb track (in my head hypothetical of course). I wanna hoon it.

Moved to a new city and took a new route to work today to see if it may miss the commuters. Took a new road down and then to the other side of town which was quite steep and had some fun turns so I vowed I had to go home this same way to see what its like in the light. It was not a long road but it had a few good turns and about ~150m of vertical elevation change.

You Oppo's have a favourite local hill climb "track" you have thought of?

2.38km(~1.5 miles) and about 150m(~500 feet)

The turns are tighter than my length calculation show. Plus uphill turns are always more fun.

This is as close as I can come to one. 2 miles and 900' of elevation change.

The road used to be more technical until about 4 years ago. In the 50's there was a SCCA hill climb held here for a few years.

This is pretty much a local mazda corkscrew. Barely 2 cars wide, overgrown, on the side of a cliff, and a steep blind corner on top of that.

This could be a rally stage if the WRC ever came to Hawaii. Waipoli Road in Upcountry Maui. If your going up, the first half is crappy tarmac, and then abit before the gates to the forrest reserve, it's all dirt.

As a long time hillclimber-and someone who is always trying to get new blood in the sport-I very much approve of this post. And if anyone in the New England area is reading this with interest, please go to www.hillclimb.org

well the same as the guy in the original post, you download google earth and use the ruler tool and you just put the dots on the road.

No where. My part of PA is pretty flat. Just small hills. And unless you're following a creek it's pretty much all county block roads parallel to each other.

Up to the highest point used to be what was used in the LSPR, and was the only paved staged in the whole of the Rally America series. I'm lucky that I live 100yards from the start and in the bumper seasons its pretty much empty.

The Sunriser 400

Not really a hill climb but a bunch of rally stages I found out were run through and around my town up until about 1995. They went through the state parks that I have been to, through the city park I drive through. The same roads I've always thought would make a great rally stage, turns out they already made a great rally stage. Now I can say I've driven on a rally stage. It is now my goal in life to bring this back to my town.

An Audi Quatro rally car bombing down the same roads I bomb down. It's like one of your daydreams coming true. Sorry if I'm a tad over excited, I just found out about all this earlier today.
