Hot Rod Hill Climb Brings Raucous to the Mountain
Kristine Cline wrote a great article on Driving Line while Chris Shelton provided the photos…
It may strike you as unbelievable but Pike’s Peak isn’t Colorado’s only historic competitive hill climb. Sixty years ago a bunch of racers gathered in Georgetown, a little mining town west of Denver in the same spirit as Pike’s Peak racers: to see who could scramble up a pretty treacherous gravel pass in the shortest time. In fact the racers followed in the footsteps their competitive forebears in all ways but one: the cars they drove. For nearly a century Pike’s Peak racers built cars specifically to climb a particular hill, but participants from various clubs in the Denver Timing Association brought their hot rods.

I was really excited to have Bob Marchese at the event, he is one of the original Strippers, the driving force behind the 1953 and 1954 Hot Rod Hill Climbs.
Our friends from Speedway Motors, the Mackichan crew, they earned the run in the sun, Friday they took on mother nature on the chilly Reliability Run!
Mike Rogers at Driven Imagery
Thanks to Mike Rogers of Driven Imagery, he took some amazing shots that weekend, and has them available for you here. He can do some artistic things to these images too!
Here are some of my favorites!
The Reliability Run was chilly to say the least, seems mother nature had a sense of humor that weekend, we got the best Colorado has to offer!
Amy had all the gift bags for pre-registered cars in boxes, they came with maps, posters, programs and more! A hell of a deal at the pre-register cost of $25 !
This was are friend Bill, he came from the Empire State to enjoy the beautiful scenery and all that the Hot Rod Hill Climb had to offer!
And the drive was spectacular, out of the wet and above the clouds to blue sky!
And then there was the Hot Rod Hill Climb !
I think these guys stole Cal’s roadster! Looks like they are going break neck speed!
