Crow Mountain Hill Climb is back for its FIFTH year. This time it is on the weekend of 3-4 October. We want to thank our SEDIV TT Series sponsor - Rich Shafer of CoolShirt - who has been a stalwart sponsor of Crow Mountain and the SEDIV TT series for many years. Century Tel has also stepped up again as one of our Crow Mtn sponsors.
A legend in its own time. Become part of this historic series. Crow Mountain is strategically situated between 7 major SCCA SEDiv Regions: TVR (Huntsville), ALABAMA (Birmingham); Chattanooga; TENN (Nashville); Atlanta; EASTERN TENN; and CENTRAL CAROLINAS.
Crow Mountain Hill Climb serves up a challenging 1.85 mile uphill course with a 720 foot elevation change featuring 7 hairpin switchbacks nestled between a ¼ mile twisty drag race to the first turn, a ½ mile section with 3 separate "S" features, some 1/8 mile sprints, and a 6/10 mile high speed curved section with two blind left-handers. The course is fully lined with ditches, granite rock faces, and large trees which offer no margin for error. Most drivers say it was the fastest and scariest two minutes of their life.
The Hill Climb site is located in Jackson County on Alabama County Highway 33 about 9 miles north of Scottsboro, AL. Scottsboro is conveniently located on Alabama Route 72 in the northeastern part of Alabama. Overnight camping is permitted but there are no facilities. No open fires are permitted. There are no gas stations, race fuel, air, water, etc. at the Crow Mountain site itself. The Skyline Quarterbacks Club will have breakfast & lunch available on site just like last year.
This event is the creation of John Barnett who tirelessly worked to make Crow Mountain a reality.
The Crow Mountain Every Year Club has 11 members: John Barnett, Craig Farr, Jason Hawkins, Ron Hurst, JK Jackson, Eddie Jory, Greg Marvin, Chris Moore, Bob Qualls, Mark Rothermel, and Rich Shafer.
We thank you and hope you can help make Crow Mountain another success.
