    For exactly 1 year I’ve been regretting missing the 2013 Hot Rod Hill Climb. I made the choice to not make the 15 hour round trip and from the moment that photos started being posted online, I was full of regret. 2014 was my chance to make good and get myself there. I had no idea what I was in for.
    After a stop at a friend’s shop (shop visit post coming later this week) I finally made it up to Georgetown, CO and got checked into my hotel. Georgetown isn’t very big and I had family that lived there a couple of decades ago so I knew how to make my way to the historic downtown area. These images are from Friday night as the sun set and later into the evening.

    This is the recreation of one of the cars from the Hot Rod Hill Climb when it first went down 60 years ago.

    Some times when you’re doing long exposure shots, a car drives through the shot…

    I know, I know! I could have spent the following week hanging out with my friends on the front range. I'm running out of my 15 days of vacation so I'm cutting trips short to get them in.

    Keep an eye out for this car in more coverage. Those OHV conversion heads are super rare, only 3 sets were ever made.

    The coming car lit the grill nicely and provided the streaking light trails that you see on the left. I dig that.

    Saturday morning of the Hot Rod Hill Climb I skipped breakfast at the hotel to get back downtown as soon as possible and start shooting photos. The sun was up but behind the mountains so the photos were fairly low light at first. The pancake feed had a huge line of people, it didn’t take long for the show part of the event to be overflowing with cars, and the crowd was overwhelming.

    Gorgeous

    LOVE IT.

    Chris’ Lincoln powered 3 window. That’s about 100 cubic inches more than a 8BA flathead.

  12. Great pics, thanks for sharing. I should keep on top of things better so I do not miss events like this. This one was in my backyard, should have went.

    The T-33 replica making it’s first pass up Leavenworth Mountain in the 2014 Hot Rod Hill Climb.

    I was absolutely floored by the almost mythically rare speed parts that were not only there, but on cars that were being flung up the mountain. Like the best museum ever except the parts are sitting there to be dusted, they were on the cars and being used. I just can’t get over all that I saw at the Hot Rod Hill Climb. Here are the photos from my perch on the side of the mountain.
