Hillclimbing, also known as hill climbing, speed hillclimbing, or speed hill climbing, is a branch of motorsport in which drivers compete against the clock to complete an uphill course. It is one of the oldest forms of motorsport, since the first known hillclimb at La Turbie near Nice, France, took place as long ago as 31 January 1897. The hillclimb held at Shelsley Walsh, in Worcestershire, England, is the world's oldest continuously staged motorsport event still staged on its original course, having been first run in 1905.[1]

Hillclimbs in continental Europe are usually held on courses which are several kilometres long, taking advantage of the available hills and mountains including the Alps. The most prestigious competition is the FIA European Hill Climb Championship.

In Romania, the first major event was the Feleac course, in Cluj. From 1930, it was a round in the European Hill Climb Championship. A record of the Feleac was set by famous German racer Hans Stuck in 1938, driving a 600 bhp (450 kW) Auto Union Grand Prix car. Stuck stormed through the 7 km (4.3 mi) gravel course in 2 min 56 sec.[citation needed] In recent decades, the course was widened in order to be suitable for intense traffic and therefore is considered inappropriate for auto racing.[citation needed]

Motor racing was banned in Switzerland in the aftermath of the fatal collision between cars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 1955.

Slower or shorter vehicles do well here because they are easier to keep from flying over jumps. Eventually traction and speed to get up some hills become an issue, at which point you have to get real good at letting off the gas early and cresting the hills.

The slick surface means that very early in the level you need a running start for most hills. If you jump off a hill and land on the up slope of another, you have to back down and start over. Better to gently crest the hill, ride down the other side and pick up speed for the next. There's a hill at around 1150m that stops most vehicles.

Performance seems to diminish as you get muddy in this one, so try to jump as much mud as you can. Traction up hills becomes the biggest issue. The hovercraft will skim the surface of the liquid, which is handy.

For the second year in a row, Grand County will play host to a Rocky Mountain States Hill Climb Association event when the Antler Basin Hill Climb returns to Granby March 4-5. The snowmobile hill climb racing series did not have any races in Colorado for nine years prior to the 2022 race at Antler Basin Ranch.

Snowmobile hill climbing, as Conger described it, works like a reverse Alpine skiing giant slalom race. Racers go uphill, maneuvering through gates as they go, and the fastest time from bottom to top wins the race.

Races include more than just a hill climb though. Conger said courses often feature jumps with riders going as high as 60-80 feet in the air. The Antler Basin course has a flatter section at the bottom where Conger and the organizers build jumps and bumps sections to increase difficulty.

Single-day and weekend passes for the hill climb are on sale now through a link on the Antler Basin Hill Climb Facebook page, and any remaining tickets will be available for purchase in the parking lot on the day of the event.

Antler Basin will also have fire pits and warming tents on the hill this year as well as more snow cats to move spectators between the parking area to the hill. Conger said there will be at least four of them, though they differ from one another.

Conger, who owns Whatever Floats Your Boat in Grand Lake and has kids who compete in hill climb events across the western United States, said the easiest place for him to help organize a race in Colorado is in the county he calls home. 006ab0faaa
