My late father took my brother and I to a hill climb outside of Clarkston, Washington around 1962-63. I was 7 or 8 years old at the time, today I’m 65. Such pleasant memories.

Just like sled climbs. Lol! Though I think the most insane thing I've ever seen is the 1/4 mile boat drags. I don't know where it was, but I seen some sports thing on TV about 30 years back and some of those guys looked like they'd ripped the cockpit of an F16, stuck half of it on a 10,000 -15,000 HP boat and said **** it, let's rock! The sheer number of near fatalities was just mind boggling. And unlike strip racing, when they lost it, it was like seeing a fighter jet at the speed of sound sneak a little too close to terra firma. Instant disassembly. Craziest sport I've ever seen.
