As far as I can tell, there isn't really any hillclimb scene on this side of the country, aside from Pike's Peak, is there?
It seems to me like a California Hillclimb Series would be an awesome proposition - we have no shortage of amazing mountain roads, many of which go nowhere and are already closed down all the time for bike races, and tons of car enthusiasts and racers that would be interested. You could probably fill rosters with people from the California Rally Series and time trial/club racing events alone.
Anybody else think so?
