Interesting angle. I don't know that hillclimbs are as popular in the USA as they seem to be elsewhere in the world. Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but it sure seems like I see more mention of them outside of our borders.

I would think that you would want to have a softer suspension for wet and/or rough surfaces. As you've noted, lower spring and anti-roll bar rates can be used if the geometry itself reduces the overall tendency for the vehicle to roll. To me, these types of conditions would be even more suited to a drop-spindle implementation than would a smooth and consistant racetrack.
