Anyone ever hear of the Penn. Hillclimb Assoc?

The PHA was the place to run if you wanted to show how fast and brave you were ! It is like an autocross with trees instead of orange cones.The only time that I know of Don runnig was on the way back from a race in Maryland one year , a fellow racer , Oscar Kovaleski I think ( owned Autoworld in Scranton )talked him into a hillclimb in Hershey. He made one run up the hill, drove his Corvette onto the trailer and commented " You people are Nuts !It is like racing thru a tunnel of trees ! " They revived Hershey several years ago for a couple of years and I ran my vintage Stinger... Fastest vintage car that weekend....7/10 mile, uphill standing start, 9 turns, mostly blind....52 seconds. 4 cars lost to trees.
