WOW! That is pretty cool and it looks well built. I wonder if there is any vid of it on youtube?

        No idea Aaron. One thing I think I'd change though. I believe I'd put some more aggressive tires on the front of that thing though. ;)

That seems likely, looking at the tires. I couldn't find any vid but I sure would like to see that thing in action.

We have the Knox Mtn Hillclimb here every year, 2 mile paved course. Next to Pikes Peak, the longest running hillclimb in North America.

Dont know where he could run without a rollbar though? Have seen a climb that they run vintage cars on, its straight & paved.

Sure is a nicely made header on that rig..

          I agree Frank, that header IS a pretty nice looking piece alright.
  Did anyone notice that it looks as if the thing is built to carry a passenger behind the operator?

I don't know if that's a passenger seat or just a fender for the rear tire.

I've seen some very interesting and well engineered vehicles at hill climbs. The video in my previous post is of Crow Mtn. in Scottsboro, AL., about an hour from my house.

   I was just going by the looks, I didn't even think about the rear fender thing. Bet those runs are something to see. ;)

I think probably this type of hill climb;


You Yanks like your hillcourses a bit wide don't you ;)


This is how we do it on our side of the pond ;D

I'm diggin' it bro...
But the ultimate hillclimb (IMO) is here in the states.

Takes a lot of "hang down" to do Pikes Peak!
