Colin and I headed up to Mt Equinox VT, this past weekend, for the Vintage Sports Car Club of America annual Hill Climb event.  Excellent event, good weather Saturday and  half of Sunday.
Our CTZCC members Bruce and Devon were in attendance with their very well prepared Datsun Roadsters.  Couple of Z's in the spectator area, a new Z with Tennessee Manufacturer plates, also met a local fellow with a beautiful original 1978 280Z, he bought it new and has 68,000 miles on it!
Some photos attached of the lads as they head up the five-mile adult roller coaster that climbs 3,100 feet. 

The hill climb with the longest road, that has been continuously run, in the world is the Mount Equinox Hill Climb located in Arlington, Vermont just outside Manchester. The length of the road is 5.2 miles and the elevation change is 3,100 feet. It contains more than 40 turns and cars have been clocked at breaking 100 MPH on the long straight ending at "The Saddle". The hill climb has been run by such famous drivers as Carroll Shelby, Briggs Cunningham, René Dreyfus, John Fitch and Miles Collier to name just a few. Started in 1950 as an official SCCA event, it continues uninterrupted, as a vintage car race. Since 1973 the sanctioning body has been the Vintage Sports Car Club of America.

As always thanks for the pictures. Was foggy at the top on Sunday. Tried to post a picture of cars parked in the fog after the run but could not.
