I'm not sure that everyone realizes that the hillclimbs use to be a part of the
SCCA National Championships. I'm not sure when that ended. I also have run a few
of the hills (Beech Mtn., Dureya, and Giants) and really enjoy it. The
Pennsyvania Hill Climb Association also has created historic and vintage
classes. I think this is a segment of our sport that is struggling a bit and
could use our support. See www.bmr-scca.org/hillclimb
