Here are some videos from Rose Valley. This was my first time attacking this particular hill and it was quite an interesting experience. The hill is very technical and has a lot of challenging linked turns with changing elevation and camber.
I took 1st place in SM2 on my last run and set a new SM2 hill record while doing so. I was trailering by just over 1 second at the end of the day Saturday and by early Sunday morning I got with .1 of the leader. On the last run I passed him with a time of 62.007 compared to his last (and best) run of 62.4.
His name is Scott Barton and he is a fellow MR2 racer. He's an awesome driver and he really pushed me farther than I have been pushed before. I wasn't really expecting to be able to catch him, but I hung in there and it paid off.
This was Hyde's 10th hillclimb victory in a row and his 5th hillclimb record!
Unfortunately I do not have Hyde's SM2 record run of 62.007 on tape,
but I have an in-car of a 64.07 run from Satruday as I was learning the course:

Here's a Chase Cam video (front bumper) of the 62.8 run from Sunday morning. This was my second fastest run:

Here's my friend in the other black MR2, Scott Barton, fast run of 62.4:
