Racing. ummmm. When I did that hill climbing ride a made sure I road a lot of hills prior to actually doing it. I am no expert on training, but I think riding frequently and pushing yourself regularly (a few times a week) will show improvement. If you are riding with a team get some practice with pacelines.
I on would go on mini time trails near my house. I would do a 7 mile loop with some hills . My best time was 24 minutes.
I just checked my speed. That would be 17mph. Not bad considering the 300 feet of climb.
