The hill climb season starts and ends in Weatherly, a quiet little town that has hosted these two events since 1960. If engineers designed a public road to be a thrill ride, this is it. The 1-mile hill consists of uphill straights leading into hairpin turns, one called “the Wall” that has to be seen and driven to be believed, followed by a hairpin turn, a short run to another hard right hand turn and then the “Jump” where most cars leave contact with the pavement. From this point the rest of the hill consists of a short straight leading to a long sweeping turn to the finish that tests your tires grip on the road as well as your nerve. This hill is a rush from start to finish.
