Hmm I thought he rolled it up there before. I took a ride in it a couple years ago at race city. It handles awesome. At the time they where running a 2L with about 6pounds of boost.
I use to be able to see most of that hill from my room when I was younger and there was many a time I did late night mountain climes up and down that hill lol Good thing it looks like they added more barriers.

When do they usually do this event? Any idea? Or is there a website perhaps?

It's run in Kelowna on the May long weekend...I plan on returning to run it next year after a 4 year absense...Ironically, I almost went off at the same spot the last time I ran it...I did hit the tire barrier but I just kept my foot in it !!
It's alot of fun...

Re: Knox Hill Climb 2007 Video

everyone goes off there, its because of the nature of the turn being a decreasing radius, at the end of the long straight and it has good camber and then ends up falling away to negative camber in the turn so you just lose tons of grip. You can hear the brakes just lock up and him begin to slide.
