SCCA Pine Mountain Hillclimb 2022 Lance and Brad Stacked
Driving @greenwithnb Lance's Miata at the Summit Racing Equipment SCCA Pine Mountain Hillclimb. Lance hands me my lunch in the haybale chicane, but otherwise very close. I can't thank him enough for trusting me to drive his car in competition. Lance finished 4th out of 20 in Sport class, while I finished 6th. Can't wait to get back here with my car.

Lance races his @haltech equipped NB Miata to 4th out of 20 in the Sport class at the 2022 Pine Mountain Hillclimb, the first event of the Summit Racing Equipment SCCA Appalachian Hillclimb Series. An otherwise stock NB Miata with Haltech Elite 1500 ECU, plus header, exhaust, throttle body, and AST shocks, in the right hands, is enough to be a condender in the series' Sport class for small disp...

Rotrex Supercharged 1993 Mazda Miata at 2021 SCCA Chasing the Dragon Hillclimb. This was the best run, and was good enough for 1st place in Street Unlimited and 3rd overall. We had trouble with the six speed, so had to hold the car on the limiter in 4th gear (approximately 100 mph). The Nine Lives Racing rear wing helped us improve more than two seconds fro last year, and the Haltech Elite 2500...

Supercharged Miata at Dragon Hillclimb 2020
zhlédnutí 504Před 3 lety
I didn't capture much video, this year, much to my own displeasure, as I use it as a learning tool. It rained all day Saturday, and this was my first run Sunday morning, on a drying hill. I was not at all confident in grip or the slightest bit in sync with the car at this point, but I later laid down a smooth run, which was good enough to win Street Unlimited, and allow me to become just the 13...

We made this video to help you understand the minimum safety requirements for car and driver, to compete in SCCA Hillclimb. I will post links in the comments to the specific rules related to SCCA hillclimb and time trials. We used Willie's car and my car to show the equipment. If we get enough requests, maybe we can convince Willie to allow a feature on his build. Subscribe for upcoming videos ...

Damn, that's a cool shop at the end. Awesome way to end the video. I just bought my first Miata this summer, a 2001 with the VVT engine and a few mods to make it breathe better and it feels amazing to drive and sounds fantastic, just like yours. Feels like you're doing 100 when you're really only doing 75 :)
Very generous of you to share your insight. Thank you!
Two of my heroes!
Listening to this with headphones on gave me a cargasm. Must have a good mic on that camera too. Problem is now I need a supercharger...
“Adam is hauling @$$”
Still too quiet 😂
Looks great.
This reminds me a lot of Pine Mountain and those tight turns plus the elevation increase!
Which direction does the incline run, coming from the northern end?
It climbs a bit from the northern end, but most of the road is after the crest.
pr໐๓໐Ş๓ 😋
Whee!
Nice! Is the road called Pine Mountain?
It's actually called Pine Mountain State Park Road. We use the section from Laurel Cove Amphitheater to Chained Rock Road.
@@GazornanDSR Thanks! I will have to head up there with the NC someday.
Little bit off topic but I am curious. How much HP does your supercharged NA make and is it reliable? Looking into boosting my NA myself.
Little bit under 300 whp. Was very reliable.
@@GazornanDSR Sick! That sounds like a lot of fun. Do you have a video with your full setup? Greetings from the Netherlands 😁
Red driver vs. Blue driver
Great video! Excellent drivers!
Great driving ! Really enjoyed seeing the different approaches. Top drivers steering units were a bit more corrective/erratic in slow corner exits, top driver has more linear inputs seemed more comfortable with driving out on throttle while front end is light. Any Porsche or MR car experience? Makes for a good strategy in MR2s and p cars
Y'all need a data system and a dead cat.
😎😎😎😎
Quick!
Road looks great, I usually do 221 once a month . Can you tell me which road this this ?
This in 58 in Virginia, between Whitetop and Grayson Highlands.
Wow! Cant decide between Turbo or sc….. this Sounds so lovely
1:59 oh lawd he comin
Thank you for this video. Is this Lynch Mountain that will lead you over into Virginia? If so, that mountain does not look as bad as people make it out to be. It's paved road and a very windy one, but it is not terrible.
Just got a 96 supercharged miata tuned on e85. I also own a 92 that's getting a turbo. Imma shoot for 12psi on that.
Whee! :)
Thanks for the info and much easier than reading the rulebook.
Nice driving Brad!!!! 🏁
Thanks! We missed you there!
Made it look so easy
was that tkacik?
Awesome driving, next year you will have it for sure!
Awesome awesome awesome run! :)
Awesome!
So smooth, Great driving! This video will be used for educational purposes for next year!
Nice work! Have been following for a while. Love the car.
Awesome! ;)
Shoulda raised the rev limit, coulda gotten that SU record.
Unfortunately, we already raised it as much as we were comfortable. Completely stock 200k internals.
Awesome drive!👌 Congratulations on a great performance!👏
Amazing driving. Love this content
Dang, that's smooth
Great video. Very informative.
Driving way too fast for a mountain road. So many sudden variabilities.
He mad you look like a driving god. 🤦🏻♂️
quick little mx5
The bump on that bridge looks like it’s going to cost me a lot of money 😂
For the event, there's a chicane right before the bridge.
this is gonna rip
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Which coilovers and sway bars are you running?
Xida coilovers, NB front bar, no rear bar.
@@GazornanDSR Interesting, for some reason i expected you to be running some big sway bars. Any reason you run your particular setup? Is it just a matter of best feel or do you think it provides the most effiecent setup for going fast?
@@jacobsidorov This is a hillclimb and touge setup. I can run more front bar on track, but this is the fastest hillclimb setup due to the crown/camber of the pavement of the roads we run. With the Racing Beat front bar, it often holds the front tire off the ground, and causes front brake lock and drags the tire. The rear bar was small when matched to the RB front bar, and is non-existent to balance the NB front bar. The car is well balanced, and has more grip in and out of slow corners, and allows the suspension to work completely in this environment.
@@GazornanDSR Ah okay. I was familiar with people using that setup for autoX but I didn’t realize it translated well into hill climb setups. If you don’t mind me asking, what spring rates are you running? I just ordered a set of Flyin miata sway bars but now i’m realizing i probably didn’t need them lol. I’m also looking into getting better coilovers and am curious about what you think is a good spring rate for this type of driving.
on your old rotrex na miata vids you said you had a enthusa na racer exhaust, anymore details on the setup?
enthuzacar.com/product/na-racer-exhaust/
@@GazornanDSR just that and catless?
@@fabianamok872 and a Racing Beat header.
It's a one lane road?!
It has no centerline, if that's what you mean. It's at least 16' wide.
Good to see you out there ripping it!
