Info below. For those of you that have not done this before there are several caveats:
This is a Vintage event, different culture and emphasis.
This event is NOT ran at 100%, more like 70% - if you are
expecting more that that this is NOT the event for you. If you can't agree to that don't register. That said it is a fun day with some neat cars to see. Hazards include big trees, ravines and an inside hill --- you are expected to drive well within you/your cars limits. No times are posted during the event, after the event is over ALL participants get a certificate with their fastest time.
Not only is it ran at 70%, any wheel off on the hillclimp part of the run is an immediate end of your day. If you hit a cone in the hillclimb portion you are on Double Secret Probation***, if you hit another you are then done for the day.
These rules are due to the site and it's dangers, however you can still have a good time out there at the lower speeds.
***Not so secret as I found out at the first hillclimb.

Corner workers can get some awesome shots, just a bonus for volunteering (hint, hint, hint)
Just as an FYI The Austin Healey Club is also planning on TWO Airport Speed runs at Amery this summer.

Healey Hillclimb VI
Saturday, June 2, 2007

history with your own run T O T H E T O P!
The course is entirely paved and consists of a 1/3 mile
autocross section at the bottom of the hill with several tight
turns and a back-up maneuver followed by a hillclimb section
that rises 250 feet in just over 1/3 mile.
Drivers will run in the order their paid registrations are
received. We will try to give everyone four runs, more if
time permits. From 12:30 to 1:30 we will take a break to enjoy
the optional barbeque buffet luncheon served in the ski chalet
($10 cash or check, pay at the buffet).

Corner Workers Needed: Want to get close to the action but not
