Freezeout Hillclimb 2011

This year was our 45th consecutive running of this event. Had a few offs, but no one was injured. I went this year with teh intentions of taking teh ST record. The current record was 1:51.xxx. The first run was a 1:54.xxx but half way up, my vid camera came off the sun visor which pulled it down in front of my face causing me to lose focus and totally botch a late apex. Second run with camera 100% secured I was able to run a 1:49.xxx. Was stoked, but had 4 more tires. Went a little faster each run but the first run on Sunday with the end run being a 1:48.6xx. Was happy to finally have a record at the event my wife and I chair.

heres the car. a 91 Si hatch fresh stock rebuild, koni yellows, ground controls, dc header, custom 2.25 exhaust, aem cai, rpfo1's and falken 615's.

Both of these are great examples of never lift. If either one of us would have, the outcome would have been quite different.

    thanks guys. these events are a lot of fun, but they arent for everyone. My wife has issues with me beating her (not physically of course, lol) and wadded up this car at the last hillclimb last year. She said she will no longer hillclimb...which sucks. She has many records around here. theres so few aggressive woman in this sport. Sucks, but I cant force her to race. Shes just gonna stick with beating up us guys at the autoxs, lol.
