fd rx7 20b turbo hillclimb video

Here is one of our runs at the 2016 Knox Mountain Hillclimb in Kelowna BC. We were about 1 second off the class record. Car is a 1993 rx7 with a 20b turbo. Jerico 5 speed, big tires and wings.

Sick.....

Great driving there! hillclimbs are a diff ballgame. I only wish I had the time to get involved in with these kind of events. That 20b torque sure seems handy going uphill. Keep up the good work.

Could you post more info on your car? Seems ur jerico trans needs some muscling to cooperate.

That was an amazing run! How much body damage was there after kissing the jersey barrier? I would have been swearing like a sailor at that point!!
