Event Coverage Hope you’re not tired of Hill Climb ’17 Photos

My last two shots before the hill was closed:

 

I walked around, making sure I remembered how to shoot photos, and shot some more photos before heading ‘down town’ for the awards show...




I tried to get artsy with this beautiful flathead Caddy mill...

 

I saw that Imperial at Speed Week 2016. That is one cool car!

 

I’ll let these cars speak for themselves.



Okay, I lied... as an artist, I am plagued by seeing things like animals or people in certain organic images, like floor tiles, marble, wood panelling, that kind of stuff. With that in mind, the shadow in the lower left corner of this speedster got my attention. the answer will be revealed at the end of the post...




I know those people...


This is the group I hung with through the day, good times... with John from K.C, Jennifer, my wife, (me), Tommy, Candy and Larry (@safari-wagon)

 

This is the good chap from England who Larry and Tommy bailed out when he ran into trouble on the hill.


Wait a minute...


What the...


Is that guys stuff everywhere?

Love ya @Jeff Norwell, wish you could have been here!

 

A couple I missed on main, found moments before the award ceremony.



One of the other MOPARS... Ha Ha!

 

I think Mike felt bad for the motley crew from Michigan because, dang if they didn’t get an award. Truth is, every single soul that showed up at the even, including the police, sheriff, fire, me and various venders. Thanks again to Mike @Nicks Hot Rod Garage, Amy and the crew!

 

Sunday was the peak to peak hot rod run but we decided to drive the highest paved road in America and climb a mountain trail....





where it snowed...








Happy trails y’all!

 

Please feel free to post pictures of the event here if you have some.

Very cool Mark! I especially like seeing all the things I didn't see like the shots from the hotel parking lot.. Great seeing you again.

 

Thanks Fellas.

Larry, that write up is great. I think I met the young lady who wrote it.

Thanks Dan, I wish I had a good camera like yours for those low light shots. That and your well trained eye...

 

Cool 30/31 highboy.....parked on a hill in Central City.

 

Beautiful car, thanks @a boner

 

Great pics, thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks for sharing. I really like this truck!

 

Awesome pics thanks for posting

 

I'm at the top left of this photo, sitting in a chair, just to the left of the guy in the white shirt. I remember seeing you get out of the roadster to let Marcy have your seat and thinking "That was nice. Glad she got a ride, instead of vending all weekend."
Wish I would have known it was you, I would have introduced myself.

 

Like Max Gearhead,

 

Marcy has done so much for the hot rod community that, when I saw her creeping up the hill, to keep out of the way of viewers and cameras, I had to offer her the opportunity. I guess she really enjoyed the ride and that was what it was all about. I regret not wearing a giant hat pointing down that said “HAMB MEMBER” and not having the chance to meet people like yourself. Especially when you come as far as Canada. Maybe next year. For now, I’m here almost every Friday, trying to support the Friday Art Show. Thank for dropping the note.

Mark

 

Thanks boys!

You talking’ ta me? Thanks Marc.

 

You probably can tell, I think this roadster is really slick. Here it is parked in a downtown alley, with the emergency brake on. Not much level ground in Central City!

 

Jigger, Thanks for posting all the great photos and sorry I missed you at this event. I spent most of my time in the parking garage at the Iles working on my deuce. As I lost the Hyd. clutch as I pulled in on Thursday night after attending the Delux speed shop party. Got it fixed Sat. around 5:30 to late to make the Hill Climb or the awards, but made it home in it and that is what counts. I will be back next year & hope to make a run up the hill.

 

I didn't want to start a new thread with more pictures. Hop you don't mind me adding them to yours.

It was a fantastic event. Thanks Nick!

 

Great pictures and commentary .
