Bellefontaine Hill Climb 2021
I entered and ran in my first hill climb this weekend. It was so much fun! They revived the hill climb three years ago.
https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/bellefontaine-hill-climb-revival-iii-corkscrew-zanesfield-ohio-sports-car-318691 The staff was very organized and they made it enjoyable. Corkscrew Hill was really steep but, the old car held up well. I was worried there would be 2.7 liter parts all over the hill but it did just fine. I hope to enter again next year. Videos to come soon.

Excellent Chris. Looks like you had a thoroughly good time. And what's more you didn't crash/blow up the car LOL

So cool that they revived it. I used to go up to watch Lou Gregg run the hill climb in his Super 90 GT. Hopefully I’ll have the 911 together next year and be there.
Those videos are great. Thanks! Love the sound of a 911 engine.

Found out the results. I ended up 6th quickest in my group of 17 cars. One of which was a GT4 Cayman. Not too bad. No lifting next time!

Is this going to be a yearly thing? The website wasn't clear or perhaps I just missed it.
I have friends in Dayton and would love to see this.
