WHEEE!!! Cumberland hillclimbs!!!
Sorry to hijack your thread, Rick, but...
Hillclimbs are returning to Cumberland, Doc!
Maryland has a law prohibiting racing on public roads, but Dave Williams, who is behind the Cumberland Airport Autocross Series, got the Maryland legislature to pass a bill that allows a hillclimb to be held near Flintstone for three years!
It's a Pennsylvania Hillclimb Association event, held on the August 4th weekend on Gilpin Road and it runs 1.3 miles and 9 turns up Polish Mountain. This is a different road from the one used in the old Cumberland hillclimbs, but it's wider and safer. I drove it and it's steep with a few switchbacks, and no houses or anything.
I'll be spectating there!
Sorry, Rick.
