I grew up on top of a great hill climb. Highway 84 from Woodside up to Skyline Blvd. Some of you know it. I used to race it flat out when I was young and foolish.

All I know is that when going downhill, the rear of the car had less weight on it and felt more squirrelly. I had to be more careful. Not so going up hill. Has to to with weight distribution and centers of gravity, I believe.
