Mark Mashburn wins Snowshoe Hillclimb!
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.  The results are here: http://www.nasa-southeast.com/2004Sep04/event.shtml Some pics of the event:      Mark your calendars for Labor Day weekend in 2005 for the 2nd Annual Snowshoe Hillclimb presented by Budweiser! |

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.

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.

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

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???
