I'm sure it was your superior SCCA-level 10/10ths driving that made the
difference. All kidding & ribbing aside, S800s are not great hillclimb cars.
Our race engines put out 120 HP and 75 lb-ft. of torque. Lack of torque can
be a real handicap in a hillclimb. Where & when did the S800 driver run his
car in hillclimbs?
