The Super Chicken 237 came to life in 2004. It was purposefully built for racing at Mt. Washington. Super Chicken 237 is a tube-frame Audi Quattro with a majority of its parts coming from Audi’s dating back to the 1980's. The best description of the Super Chicken is found on Driven-daily.com in their 2014 coverage of the Mt. Washington Climb to the Clouds. "Some cars drive like poetry, and ease their way around every corner in a carefully balanced ballet to the end of the road. The Super Chicken is not one of those cars. It tears up mountains like an unchained titan, violently working toward its goals. Refinement only exists were it can make the car faster. This is one of the most pure race cars ever built, designed for a single purpose, and making no excuses for ignoring everything else in the world." (www.driven-daily.com/climb-clouds.html)
My name is Paul Tingaud, and I am the Driver/Builder of the Super Chicken. I have been hillclimbing for over 20 years. In the last 5 years, the Super Chicken has set hill records at all but two of the New England Hillclimb Series events. I was named King of the Hill in 2013 and 2015. I have competed at the Mt. Washington Climb to the Clouds four times, earning a 5th place finish in my first time running the hill in 2000. The following year, I improved to a 4th place finish. Upon the return of the Mt. Washington Climb to the Clouds in 2011, I was able to improve once again to a 3rd place podium finish behind David Higgins and Todd Cook in first and second place, respectively. In 2014, I repeated my 3rd place finish behind the factory-backed Subaru's of David Higgins and Travis Pastrana.
2017 marks the return of the Climb to the Clouds Mt. Washington Hillclimb. Currently Super Chicken 2 is being built to compete in the 2017 CTTC. In order for the best opportunity to race against the big guys, I am reaching out to help get the Super Chicken the best prepared car it can be. Specifics that I need your help to fund include tires, rear limited slip differential, fuel, turbos, and possibly a sequential transmission.
