Event Coverage It's Hot Rod Hill Climb Time

On the road this morning...in Leadville CO for the night. Saw a few sights. The weather is much cooler than last year this time. Caught a photo op with the train in Leadville returning for the day.

I'll be throwing a lot of photos and not so much yack...we are going to hit Central City tomorrow...I wanted the cool of the morning for the Detroit Diesel powered dog house to climb the 7% and 8% grades. I'll try to capture things as they happen.

Cheers and looking forward to seeing all you hoodlums

We're leaving Thursday afternoon so we'll get there a few hours earlier than normal. Gonna head on up to Cold Springs campground and get setup. See ya at the reliability run.

 

That’s a nice older Silver Eagle you have there!

Out of sequence but I read from the back of the book to the front to see how it starts...
This is the first part of the climb from I-70 to Central City...8%

Cool, keep those cards and letters coming so the rest of us can tag along.

 

26 hrs till we’re on the road...I’ll be worthless at work for the next day and a half.

 

Leaving Central Missouri in the AM tomorrow. See you Friday for sure.

Larry, since you will be so close, are you coming on to VA to get your engine and trans?
I've been carefully tucking it in each night for you since you bought it. There was plenty of room for it in my shop once I got that big Buick off the floor and into the cabriolet!

 

Buddy of mine from Fair Grove MO is going this year. Mike Meeker. He's in a brown primered 32 5 window coupe.

 

Don is here

Thank you for the pictures and coverage @winduptoy!
Keep'em coming, we'll take more!!

 

Dang I’m excited!! Been watching the crews from Ohio and Texas treck towards Colorado online the last few days. I think the Ohio guys just left Pete and Jakes a bit ago, a bunch of Kansas City people left this morning. We leave in the morning.

Going to be a fantastic weekend!

 

You bet, they are trickling in...

Unfortunately I won't be attending this year. I have a last minute relay request if anyone is rolling past Lawrence, Kansas (exit 204 of I-70) in the morning? I have an SBC blower intake someone who is attending the hill climb wants to buy. @Tim what time are you rolling through?

 

I’ll text you

I so wish I was there this year! Thanks for the pictures, I'll be following along.

 

Mike, Troy and the rest of the guys work very hard to make this happen. Lots of stuff to be moved, set up, work all weekend then take it apart and hauled back home. So we can have a great time, Thank you very much.
