Hill ClimbHill Climb
It’s UP to you where you go
Did you know that your road racing vehicle likes to get away from the track sometimes? We did. That’s why SCCA made hill climbs the fourth 
and top level of the Time Trials program. There are no more fences and no more grandstands. Full safety gear is mandatory as it’s just you, your car and a mountain road. Hill Climb events are run on paved mountain roads over short distances, and in the true spirit of racing, fast time wins.

Learning Curve Racing – Learning Curve Racing is a new company founded by Steve Cooke (BMW and Skip Barber Driving Instructor, SAARC driver). LCR provides personal coaching services for drivers wanting to raise the level of their competitive driving skills. Steve feels that to improve you have to look at the car and driver as a system rather than separate components. Not all problems can be solved tuning the car or by just training the driver. Being able to do trackside tuning and setup changes to the car while offering detailed analysis and feedback to the driver, the best improvement can be realized in one and two day sessions. Steve will not be able to attend Wolf Ridge but will have flyers available at the event. rxracer@juno.com Steve Cooke (864) 320-4586 |
