Crow Mountain Hill Climb – A legend in its own time.  Crow Mountain is strategically situated between 8 major SCCA SEDiv Regions:  TVR (Huntsville), ALABAMA (Birmingham); Chattanooga; TENN (Nashville); Atlanta; EASTERN TENN; CENTRAL CAROLINAS; and South Carolina.

Crow Mountain Hill Climb serves up a challenging 1.85 mile uphill course with a 720 foot elevation change featuring 7 hairpin switchbacks nestled between a ¼ mile twisty drag race to the first turn, a ½ mile section with 3 separate “S” features, some 1/8 mile sprints, and a 6/10 mile high speed curved section with two blind left-handers.  The course is fully lined with ditches, granite rock faces, and large trees which offer no margin for error.  Most drivers say it was the fastest and scariest two minutes of their life.

The Hill Climb site is located in Jackson County on Alabama County Highway 33 about 9 miles north of Scottsboro, AL.  Scottsboro is conveniently located on Alabama Route 72 in the northeastern part of Alabama.  Overnight camping is permitted but there are no facilities.  No open fires are permitted.  There are no gas stations, race fuel, water, etc. at the Crow Mountain site itself.  Breakfast & lunch will be available on site.

Crow Mountain Hill Climb is dedicated to the memory of our friend Rich Shafer who gave so much of himself to support and sponsor Hill Climbs and Time Trials

Motel rooms are set aside at the Comfort Inn (256-259-8700, $75) and the Hampton Inn (256-259-5200, $79).  Mention Crow Mountain Hill Climb when making reservations to receive the discounted rate.
