Event Coverage +++Tons of photos, Route 66 Hillclimb+++

Thanks for posting. It is good to see the old folks enjoying themselves!!!

 

I notice that this hill climb is only open to "Ford" cars..!!!!

What is the problem???? Are all of these "Ford" car owners afraid of our four cylinder
Chevy powered cars??

Guess the "Ford" cars can not take on the compe***ion??

Too bad!!

 

Old Farts in 4 bangers smokin' the tires. Who knew ? Great stuff Doug. Hill climb fans google Giants Despair Hill Climb.

 

Great stuff Bubba!

 

too cool.......I will go next year can you keep all us so cal guys posted,I did not know this event was going on.

your pics are great......

 

That was cool as all get out

 

Great pictures, Doug.... Really neat stuff.

 

Great shots, Doug, as always!

Thanks for posting.

 

That looks like a fun time. I would love the history and weather where you live but the traffic would make me crazier.

 

Doug,

It was great meeting you out there today. Me and Frank were betting you'd come through with exceptional photography of the event and you didn't disappoint.

What a great event and a perfect day to watch the hot rods run. It was amazing weather I even came back with a FREE sunburn!!

The F.A.S.T. group sure put on a cool event. I've never seen so many 4-banger burn outs.

Regards,

Chris

 

Cool stuff,,, wish I was there!

 

love the take off pics. looks like a really fun day.

 

Wow man, now thats OLD SCHOOL! Great pics!

 

Thanks for posting your great pics of the event. I attended today and forgot my camera and was glad to see someone captured today's great show.

 

Gotta agree, looks like waaaay tooo much fun.

 

I went to one of there runs about 10 years ago, it was up in the gold country of Northern CA, one of the best times I've ever had. The guy in the yellow car with black checkers, is driving with hand controls, and his wife drives the purple 26/27 roadster. That's just a whole lotta fun. Dean

 

i am in love.

 

Very cool, thanks for the pics

 

Thanks for posting. I missed it this year but will be back next year if I have to walk!

 

I really like this pic, and the others as well. Thanks for posting!

 

i love it,this is what hotrodding is all about.

 

it was definitly the most fun I've had all weekend..Great to be around fast fours and experienced racers/ builders

 

Great shots Doug. I didn't take my camera because I knew you'd be there recording the event.

 

I don't know about states other than California, but we had to have our registration visible from the outside of the car back in the 1960's.
Most folks had these spring gizmos that held your registration on the steering column. Some other people would put them on the visor.
Can you imagine today the chaos that this would cause?
Women having their address available to anyone looking in their car, or some thief knowing where you parked your car every night?
Everything from crooks to stalkers to murderers knowing where to find you.
Anyways....it's been a LONG time since I've seen one of these.

 

that would have been a great day out. thanks for posting
what a bunch of cool cars

 

very cool! i love ol' rusty!

 

This fellow had his hair down to a science.
Damn, I have see a ducktail that perfect in a long time!
