I got home from my September trip a few days ago and finally got to editing my hill climb photos this AM. I know they are dupes of those already posted, but these are my favorite cars, etc.. My little trip took about 3 weeks, 5K miles, two new front tires, an oil change, one cracked headlight lens and gallons of dead bug juice. FYI, I was one of the IOM Florida guys who made the trip to take in the whole deal and I'm sure glad I did. I had a great time and so did some friends from nearby Frisco. Nice job, Mike! Later, Gary

 

A few more straggler pix. I really like the scallops on the coupe and 13's lettering. Later, Gary

 

Great shots Gary! It was nice to meet you too.

 

Gary, I cannot tell you how honored I am that you came to the event. Not only did you come from Florida, but you drove! You drove a 1926 Hot Rod Pick Up!!! You are my hero. Thank you!

There are a lot of photos in this thread worthy of hamb calendar. The thread is going around now. Actually, you could have your own hill climb calendar, id buy at least 2.

 

Great Idea!!!

 

I'll take 2 too.

 

I'm in! Let me figure out how to do the pics! Maybe a pic only thread! Brilliant.

 

Now there's a great idea!

 

I'd take one!

 

here here for a hill climb calendar

 

I'm in.

 

And in the calendar, you can go ahead and mark the date for the 61st anniversary.

 

Might be Don Scroggs in the action photo....look how far his head is above the "roll Bar".....

 

I'd have a few calendars. Make good Christmas gifts for all the motorheads in the family that couldn't make it.

 

Calendar would be sweet.
