Final post of the 2014 Hot Rod Hill Climb
After everyone went up the hill, well they had to come back down…

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.
2014 Hot Rod Hill Climb Part 2
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.

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.
Event Coverage: Hot Rod Hill Climb Coverage
From the coverage I’ve seen, I really messed up not going to the Hot Rod Hill Climb. Looks like a really kool event! The rains and devastating flooding on the eastern side of the Rockies could not keep the folks from getting up to Georgetown, CO for the event on Sept. 14th. This was the 60th Anniversary of the 1953 Hot Rod Hill Climb and from the looks of it, it was awesome!
The following photos are from Hot Rod Hill Climb’s Instagram page, or the Hot Rod Hill Climb Facebook posted here with permission from the owner.
Here are some links to some amazing coverage.
Here’s a kool youtube video from Michael West
A ton of people have posted photos on the Hot Rod Hill Climb thread on the H.A.M.B. it’s definitely worth some time!
If at all possible I will not miss it again.
See you at a show,
