[Fot] East Coast FOTs...

[Scott Janzen]

Pa hill climbs are lots of fun and the hills have a lot of history - they've been running Giants Despair continuously since 1906.  They have one every two weeks from June 8th to Sept 14, only one hill repeated, and it's a terrific one (Weatherly).  Good paddock scene, great variety of cars and people, quite a few spectators as these are local, small town events, Pagoda and Duryea being bigger (in Reading).  No run-off, no guard rails, just the real deal - rocks, trees sone walls and occasionally getting airborne.
Only caveat for you road racers is that driving time is limited.  If things run smoothly, you might get four runs in a day, 1-3 minutes a shot depending on the hill.
Entry fees are low.   Rich Rock is one of the hill climb experts on this forum, being one of the organizers and having run them for years.

And yes, there are usually several Triumphs.

Hi,

I've thought about posting this for a while... the PA hillclmb folks seem to host events where a reasonble number of Triumphs attend, at least from my read of the results. Some of us aren't road racers and an event like the Pagoda Hillclimb in June might be a good gathering place for the non-road-race FOTs. According to the PA Hillclimb web page will be held 22-23 June 2013. I was thinking that a crossover event for the autocrossers and the normal hillclimb folks along with some road racers who want to take a shot at a hillclimb...

Who's up for it? Regular PA hillclimb folks feel free to chime in.
