On the subject of hillclimbs, many of you probably remember the Chimney Rock hillclimb in NC, this was put the Central Carolina region of the SCCA, after the hillclimb was no longer ran Chimney Rock Park, it moved to a few different places like Beach Mountain and Sparta, NC, but I don't think it ever had the popularuty of the Chimney Rock events. Well now the CCR has new venue for a hillclimb, that I think will attract the masses again, a little place many of you may have heard of, by the name of "the Tail of the Dragon", the Chasing the Dragon Hillclimb is the new CCR hillclimb and this is probably one of the most famous curvy road areas in the US, maybe the world, so it should catch on pretty well. They had the their first event there a few weeks ago and only had about 60 days to make it come together, the actual hillclimb is on side road off the Dragon, and it was little bumpy, coming from reports from some of the racers, but the local town of Robbinsville was so thrilled at having the event there, they said, " no problem, we'll repave the road for your guys" now that a motivated town and they are truely excited about the hillclimb being there.
Tentivaly they are planning a fall date for another hillclimb at the Dragon.
