Weatherly Hillclimb - Weatherly, PA

Rob Campbell at "The Jump"
The season starts and ends with the
Weatherly Hillclimbs. These two events are held on the outskirts of
Weatherly, PA, a quiet little town that has been hosting these events since
1960. If engineers designed a public road to be a thrill ride, this is it.
The hill consists of uphill straights leading into hairpin turns, one called
"the Wall" that has to be seen and driven to be believed, followed by a
hairpin turn, a short run to another hard right hand turn and then the
"Jump" where most cars leave contact with the pavement. From this point the
rest of the hill consists of a short straight leading to a long sweeping
turn to the finish that tests your tires grip on the road as well as your
nerve. This hill is a rush from start to finish.

Driving Directions
Weatherly is located about
ten miles southeast of Hazelton, PA. From Interstate 81, exit at
number 141 (Greater Hazelton Chamber of Commerce Beltway) and
proceed east until you reach a “T” at Route 93 (about four miles
from I 81). Turn right (south) on Route 93 and proceed through the
town of Beaver Meadows. At the far south end of town you will see a
pond or small lake on your right at which point you will turn left
and proceed about three or four miles through the woods until you
reach the town of Weatherly. At the stop sign, turn left and drive
over the creek and a set of railroad tracks. Turn left at the first
opportunity and proceed parallel to the creek. Continue past the
“Trackside Beverages” beer distributor store. Follow the street as
it turns right until you see the Weatherly Fire Department on your
right. During the hillclimb hours this street, beginning at the fire
house, serves as the paddock area and will be closed to all but race
cars. Visitors can turn left just prior to the fire house and find a
parking space, then may walk on the street serving as the paddock
area to reach the hillclimb.
