The Chimney Rock Hillclimb was the most legendary hillclimb in the South. Held in Chimney Rock , North Carolina, it was a rite of spring for both drivers and spectators. Beginning in 1956 when sports cars and sports car racing was still in its infancy , the climb challenged Triumphs, Jaguars, MG's and their drivers to a high speed rollercoaster ride that scared even the most fearless . With two miles of hairpins and switchbacks and trees for guard rails, it was an event to behold. Sadly the challenge to the mountain came to an end as a result of "changing times". And in 1995 "the Rock" fell asleep again.
