I've been trying to expand my motorsports watching lately and these hillclimbs are a big deal in Europe, I guess. Maybe we should do more of these here in the states. There's a 3rd gen at the 1:38 mark.

Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs is one of the more prominent ones here in the US.

I'd daily drive pretty much every single car in those videos. I'd love to see the expression of women when I pick them up for dates. Laughing

Knox mountain is like 20 mins from me here. Alot of people I know like them, and a few that have raced it. Its actually a pretty big deal here, people come from all around.

Sad I'm gonna be in Vegas during this years event but I think next year I may have to make a trip up to Canada. That's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about.

I was watching the Pike's Peak Climb a few years ago and saw a spectator get knocked out of the tree he was perched in when a car hit the tree trunk Shocked I guess he thought he was safe up there being above road level Laughing
