2017 Hot Rod Hill Climb Pt 1


Another stop on my 48 Cars 48 States trip is the Hot Rod Hill Climb in Central City, CO. I left Cheyenne, WY on Thursday morning (you’ll see the Wyoming stop in a few days), and made the 2 hour trip to Central City. The Galaxie had some issue climbing up the mountains, got hot and spewed out some coolant so I sat there in my lawn chair and enjoyed being in the Rockies while it cooled down. I was about ½ mile from my destination though so I was at the Hot Rod Hill Climb pits in short order.

I spent Thursday afternoon hanging out with the crew and helping a little with set up, but Troy Hasting’s crew had it mostly together already. The plan was to shoot my Colorado car that afternoon but timing didn’t work out. As I type this on Sunday morning I’m getting ready to head back over to get it done now! Truthfully I have a bunch of great shots of the vehicle so I can make due with a couple of action shots that I got of it this weekend.

Friday morning started with a quick run over the mountain to Idaho Springs to put out some signs for the Reliability Run since I was going to be up on top of the mountain taking photos. Then I parked myself up there and set up to see how many cars would take the OMG Road way over the mountain. The first photos you see are from that stop.

More of the story tomorrow!

Labor Day Weekend in KC is all about the Greaserama. Held out at the fairgrounds in Tracy, MO, it’s a great time with amazing cars, bands, artists, and people.

One of my favorite shows in the last few years has been Pistons And Paint in Denton, TX each November. Put it on your list!
