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.

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,
