For the 3rd consecutive year Harold Waddell has claimed the NAHA National Hillclimb Championship in the Open Ex class. Early this season Waddell’s goal was to retain his championship title in the Open Ex class and also claim the title in the 700cc class. Harold’s goals are finally a reality with the final round of the NAHA Championship on Oct - 4th - 5th 2008, the East West Shootout in Nashville, IN.  With confidence Waddell headed to Indiana with one thing in mind.

In the 700cc class his points lead gave him some breathing room, needing to finish 12th or better to come home with the #1 plate, giving him the time and focus he would need to top the Open Ex Class for the 3rd year in a row. Waddell sat 1 point behind and had to beat the current Open Ex point’s leader in order to secure that title.

In the past Nashville, IN has done him well winning this round for the last 3 consecutive years, his focus was on winning the event to secure his place in Hillclimb history.As history tells it today, he came out of the weekend and would not be denied the title this year, as his hard work and dedication paid off now claiming NAHA Pro Hillclimb Open Ex National Title. This is the 3rd time in as many years he was able to capture the title and the first year as NAHA Pro Hillclimb National Title in the 700cc  premier class in the same season.
