cars....Elcipse's, Celicas, and Omnis or class 2 ....Corvettes,

Other points to consider: 

	Full Nomex -- head to toe, 
	Helmet SA 85 or newer
	Full rollcage	
	5 point harness
	Fire bottle
	Track experience:  requires some kind of record of accomplishment in
Road Racing, Pro Rally, Hillclimb, or Solo events. (i.e. you must have a
lot of experience doing something so that you have a good workin
knowledge of car control.)

"Mt. Washington is NOT nice....small mistakes or slight panic can be
disasterous."  (direct quote from Ray)....."Mt. Washington is not
forgiving, but it is a BLAST!"  BTW, looking at the tops of trees when
making a mistake in a turn and getting the tops of those trees inside
your car can be VERY disconcerting......(when you realize you have those
pieces-----at the top)  Call for further details......603-228-1254. 

So, for more info on driving the hill, call Ray....he'd LOVE to talk to
any of you about it.
