Workers include corner workers, event organizers, and all other volunteers.
Workers who have worked 2 or more days are invited to attend compliments of the PHA. Thank you for giving your time and helping make our events possible!
Even though there is no charge for qualifying workers, all workers must register so we can provide the venue with an accurate attendance count.
SPONSOR A WORKER
If you are a driver or guest attending the banquet, please consider helping us cover the cost of our volunteers by Sponsoring a Worker. It is a great way to show your appreciation for the people who give their time to make our events possible.
PHA BANQUET PROGRAM
We will once again be putting together a PHA Banquet Program, which has also served as our year-end newsletter for the past few years. Program ads help cover the cost of printing the program, and anything left over goes toward the banquet and supporting the volunteers who make our events possible.
Want to promote your business, product, car, or racing team? Place an ad and get your message in front of PHA drivers, crews, and families—while helping support the volunteers who give their time to make our events possible.
Not interested in advertising but have a hillclimb story to tell? Hillclimb-related articles are welcome and will be published free of charge. Tell us how you got started with PHA as a driver or worker, share a unique or memorable experience from an event, or even submit a poem.
Don't be shy about sharing your story—you never know who might learn something or be inspired by your experience!
