This coming weekend I will be running the #762 ITS BMW in the Duryea Hillclimb. For those who aren't familiar with the Duryea Hillclimb, it is held in Reading, PA. The course begins above Reading's City Park, follows the Pagoda Hillclimb route, and continues past the Pagoda up to the top of the mountain. The final straight follows the ridge line, with the finish line in front of William Penn Tower. The fastest cars will achieve speeds in excess of 140 MPH at the finish.
It promises to be another exciting weekend, with at least 6 entrants in the ITS class. I will be gunning for first place, and the record. It's roughly 8.4 seconds faster than my best run from last year, but based on my improvements at the Pagoda Hillclimb, I anticipate substantial reductions in my time. I expect another heated battle, but Jason may be a bit more cautious to avoid a repeat of last year.
For those who are interested, directions and more information are available at http://pahillclimb.net/about/the-courses/duryea-pagoda/
I've included a video from 0-60 Magazine, done in 2007, that features some of the cars from the event.
