The first two minutes of this video shows the variety of purpose built formula cars and sports racers that compete in the Pennsylvania Hillclimb Association series. These cars are generally former road race vehicles that have been built or re-purposed for hillclimbing. The first car to leave the starting line is a former Tui Super Vee powered by a Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle engine. It also has Formula 1 style DRS (Drag Reduction System) on both the front and rear wings. The green and white sports racer is a Stohr WF-1 with modified aero and powered by a turbocharged Suzuki GSX-R 1000 super bike engine. The black sports racer is a former DSR Cheetah. The Cheetah is powered by a 3 cylinder snowmobile racing engine. The video is aboard a Stohr F-1000 formula car. This car is powered by a stock Suzuki GSX-R 1000 bike engine. All of these vehicles have a very good power to weight ratio and run the 2.25-mile Duryea course in well under two minutes from a standing start.
Great , brings back memories,,ran the hill in the mid to late 70s in a Merlyn mk4 / Alfa I believe my best time was in 78 sub 2:10 , I’m contemplating on running it again l
