Let's Start talking about the Hill Climb

[lsvtec]

It happens on June 26 and I know that I am going to be there. Tickets are $35 and they get you into every practice session the week before as well as race day. I went last year and it was the coolest automotive anything I had ever seen. So I want to know who is planning on being there.

Oh yes, let's do! So where is this hillclimb at??? I hope somewhere in California.... lol. I want to hillclimb so badly, maybe in a few years. *sigh*

This is THE Hillclimb, as in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb ( http://www.ppihc.com ). It is in Colorado Springs, CO. And it is the only good thing to ever happen in or around Colorado Springs.

Thanks Ji! But starting this year, I would need a roll cage in whatever car I would compete in.

Damn my cousin lives in Colorado Springs, i need to make a trip there next year. This year i will be in boot camp starting june 14, shit.

hmm.... I think we might be interested, we just need to see about places to stay, and when my roommates and I can take off work and whose car we are taking... lol.

MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy

Everyone in or near Colorado had better be coming this year. If the pictures Eric and I took last year don't convince you, you don't deserve to own a car.

Seriously though, you'll have the time of your life. It's the best way to spend a day.

I will be flying up there the Friday evening before the race and then back the Sunday evening afterwards because I don't think I could afford to miss any work at that point. You should deffinately come up for it.

Hmm. Considering... a lot depends on what happens with my grad school admission decision. When do I need to buy tickets by?

 

[lsvtec]

For the Hill Climb, you can buy tickets the day before race day if there are any to be found. You should come regardless of grad school.

 

[phunky.buddha]

Grad school / job status determines financial standing.

 

[lsvtec]

I understand. It's a pretty cheap vacation though.

 

[phunky.buddha]

Very true. We shall see... you already have your plane tickets set?

Except for maybe the SCCA cars. But yeah, you're right, there's nothing quite like seeing a semi cab drift around a 180 hairpin on dirt.

That would be a cool little vacation
