July 14-15 - Lands End Hill Climb, Grand Junction, CO
"The Lands End hill climb was the 3rd event in the Ultra 4 series, and was hosted by the CHCA, who also hosts the Pike's Peak hill climb. The Saturday before the event consists of organized practice runs and time trials. The race takes place on Sunday, and each team is given 2 runs with only the best time being used. My time at the hill climb was very short lived. On my first practice run the car blew an oil line and the motor developed some serious knocking just a 1/2 mile from the top of the 5 1/2 mile race course. Just when I thought I had all of the issues figured out something like this happens. We were done for the weekend, and it wouldn't leave me much time to get the car fixed for the Ultra 4 Stampede that was 4 weeks away."

Roger Lovell Takes on the Lands End Hill Climb
"We all need a second attempt at some things and I am no different. Unfortunately off-road racing is not a game of second chances. The Lands End Hill climb was the 3rd stop in the 2010 Ultra 4 Grand Slam Series; a series that consists of the top racers in the sport. The race is 5.5 miles long with a 2500 foot elevation gain along a twisting, turning gravel road. One miscalculation from the driver seat can send you plummeting off the side of the steep shelf road."

Lovell Puts Amsoil Pro-Light in 2nd at the 88th Pikes Peak Hill Climb
"Having always lived in the shadow of Pikes Peak, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb has always been part of my life. Not a big part though, I have never even been to the race. Having built a formidable racer for the TORC short course series though, this year was different. I never thought the V-8 powered AMSOIL Pro-Light would be competitive in the Pikes Peak Open class but I knew I needed seat time, especially after my pummeling in the opening rounds at Crandon." >>Read more

HILLCLIMB ROOKIE
"The world of everything off-road is opening for those of us that own rockcrawlers. Not only can we crawl,
but we can also race on rocks, in the desert, and now in hill climbs. I have heard a couple doubters ask,
“Why would you want to race one of those?” The answer? Because it is a heck of a ride and our overbuilt
tanks are surprisingly competitive with the dedicated hill climb cars.
Being that this was my first hill climb, I didn’t really know what to expect. We showed up Friday night and
saw everything from rally cars to methanol burning open wheel monsters. I was struck by the sight of
plastic wheels, aluminum chassis, and 800-hp go-kart sized racers. We stuck out like a sore thumb." Click here to read on.
