Event Coverage So Cal F.A.S.T. Route 66 Hill climb

Give me some details. The cars run up the road to the top for times? Does it end at the top? Are there any turns,or is it just straight? How long is the run?

 

Thanks, thought I recognized that green 29 Tudor. I believe Jay's car was the only entry in his class.

 

It is a timed 1/8th mile uphill. One car runs at a time. It is a standing start like a drag race and the quickest time in each class wins. The quickest cars are the modified Model A speedsters. They run in the low 10's and high 9's. They are doing right at 60 mph at the stripe. In the picture below, the finish line is were the umbrela is and there is plenty of runoff area over the top of the hill. Most run open exaust and the sound of the different Bangers running up the hill are bitchin.

 

That is the picture that confused me. Looked like that car was going downhill. I didn't know he was returning. That's pretty awesome...

 

Cool thanks! My pal Dean has run the Hillclimb they do in Iowa. I need a plan for this banger project I got going................as in a car idea to stuff it in!

 

Ya Bob, the Red car in that photo is on the return road.

 

You can get all the rules and class structures here:

many of those speedsters look like narrowed frames? I dont see how they fit in the rules? Thanks for the link BTW!

 

The narrowed frame cars would run in the Historic or time only classes.

 

Thanks for posting! It would be great to see an event like that. Thanks again.

 

Here are some pictures of cars that were there but didn't run.

 

Way cool in more ways than I can count!!

 

Now that is good shit! Thanks for sharing

 

Awesome Dan! Looks like it was a blast! Great coverage for sure!

Some of those cars were also at Antique Nats. Neat stuff!

 

This is SO cool! One day Id love to build a Riley head banger powered modified!

 

Scott,
Ya, it is a lot like the Antique Nats. but not as much variety.

 

Cool, makes me excited for the hill climb in near me.
