Been trying to find out if there are any rules that must be followed to compete in the hill climb. Went all over their website and can't find any. How many people can be in a car??? Etc. etc. Been watching the videos and looks pretty laid back. Will they allow people in a rumble seat as passengers???
Yes it's pretty relaxed. I've seen three deep in coupes and full rumble seats! It's a super steep course so unless you are making some serious power you aren't going to be going very fast.
Post #2 has some of the safety rules. Anything specific, you can contact Mike directly. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-60th-anniversary-hot-rod-hill-climb.785354/
Not really looking to go fast...just want to experience it with some friends and complete the course. Car will be a 31 Roadster with a 39 trans with 46 48 gears and a 37 3:78 rear end. Should be strong enough with the 49 Merc flathead. It will have hydraulic brakes.
What Travis said x2. An incredible event with beautiful, historic surroundings. I strongly recommend the Reliability Run which takes place on Friday and the Peak to Peak run on Sunday.
