Took a few shots of the scenery for perspective. not looking to bad to me. Shotgun Dave's 356 getting after the hill, looks pretty cool. This is the really fun part to me. almost as good as making the best time on the hill.

Thanks Guy's! I am pretty happy with the whole project so far. It is way more fun than I thought to run cars on this. Someone had posted that it was the perfect lone wolf track, or the "Billy no mates" track as David said. :lol: (I love that).
I get caught up running different cars up and down the hill so much, its a wonder I have gotten anything done!
I cant stress enough, how much fun can be had for as little space and money a hill climb can provide. I hope to have the main scenery done by the weekend, the little details will be done over a much longer period. And as soon as I get the timing system up and running, I will be Looking into a hill climb proxy for the late summer /early fall as schedules permit. :auto-driving:
Thanks again for all the kind words!

Nice hill Bob ! An IDEA . Why don't you just get the PAN AM cars back to your place and run them on the Dragon for another leg of the race ? Votes for YES ?

Richard, I don't think some of those Pan Am cars could pull the hill! My Merc and Hudson, and the BIG Caddy would never make it around the tight corners! Would be fun though! I might have to give them a go when they come back around.
