Mark Mashburn wins Snowshoe Hillclimb!

[wildhorsesracin]

It's a shame he drives a Camaro but...

Mark Mashburn posted a time of 83.127 secs for the 1.75 mi Snowshoe Mountain Hillclimb presented by Budweiser. The event was a phenomenal success at a breathtaking venue.

Looks like fun. I'll have rollover protection by labor day of 05...I may have to see how big my marbles are and try this out.

I know that I am going to do my best to be there next time. If a Ram pickup can run 2nd I know that my Lightning will kick it up the hill. Still need to get a fire suit and figure out how to put a roll bar in the L. Of course I could drive the Cobra I did not see any '03 running.:bounce:

FYI - the picture of the clouds above was from the paddock... :)

Nice slide show. I guess that I could not run the L because it does not have roll over protection. Hope to run the Cobra next year.:thumbsup:

Jim, can you give details on the yellow Mustang(#99) and the blue Dodge truck? Thanks

[wildhorsesracin]

They were wicked!

(I know, I know, I bought ANOTHER '86 Mustang to race in! LOL!)

What series was the truck built for?? It looks awesome.

[wildhorsesracin]

It was built for DE... all carbon fiber, tube frame, two seats, sweet truck :thumbsup:

[wildhorsesracin]

I have known the driver of the #99 Mustang for about 10 years - met him at the Beech Mtn Hillclimb - I am building a '68 just like it :thumbsup:

DE???

[wildhorsesracin]

Yessirree -he said that he does about 40 DE events a year, has 4 vehicles, the truck, viper(s) and another DE car - all just for the FUN of driving... ;)

[johnbasf]

One more time, DE? I'm going to assume "driving schools". If he's doing 40 events a year would you assume he has MONEY??? :rolleyes:

[wildhorsesracin]

DE = Driving Events

he has good sponsor(s) or wins a few hillclimbs :)
