Where Do You Wanna Explore in 2024?

It’s a new year and a new chance to check some things off your hot rod bucket list… Have you been to Bonneville yet? How about the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona? Maybe planning to go to an event really far from home, like the Mooneyes Show in Yokohama, Japan? I recently read that the Amelia Island Concours will be featuring the ‘Cars of Pikes Peak’ class in March, and it reminded me that I’ve never experienced this ultimate hill climb, better known as the ‘Race to the Clouds’. Maybe 2024 is my year to head to Colorado Springs and see it for myself? Regardless, check out this Kodachrome 16mm footage shot at the 1949 Pikes Peak ‘Auto Hill Climb’. The racers were sprint cars and Indy racers, as the course was still primarily soft dirt all the way to the top.
