In 2000 some of our members members thought it would be a great idea to hold a hillclimb in our area so the search was on for a venue. It did not take long to realise that Picacho Peak would be ideal. A scenic spot with all the facilities that such an event could possibly want. And most importantly, a nice steep hill. But would the State Park authorities look kindly on our ideas? Many folk thought not but they could not have been more wrong. The Park Manager, Rob Young, has been very supportive right from the outset and has given us all the help we need to make the event a success. We plan to hold a hillclimb at Picacho Peak every year for the forseeable future.
The most important aspect of our event is that it should be a fun day out with an opportunity to enjoy your old banger in an environment which is not normally available. It matters not whether you have a stock machine or a performance beast, Picacho Peak Hillclimb is a venue where you can enjoy your car in your own way. We do provide accurate timing and a well controlled envionment for those who are serious about their hillclimbing skills but the real reason behind the event is for all comers, whether serious or not, to have fun with their cars in a relaxed atmosphere.
Please come and join us.

The Chairman of Picacho Peak Hillclimb and Webmaster is Fred Secker. Please contact him on fred@secker.uk.net or home phone 520 574 3042 with any queries about the hillclimb or comments on this website.
