Put me on the list, at least to spectate :-)

There is a fun hill climb, believe it or not, in Western Indiana. Newport. It
runs once a year, in October and is limited to pre WWII cars (unless the
manufacture is out of business, then it the early 1950's). It starts right at
the courthouse door and runs a drag race straight up a steep hill.

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.

run smoothly, you might get four runs in a day, 1-3 minutes a shot depending
on the hill.

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...
