The Mt. Washington Hillclimb, known as the “Climb to the Clouds,” is making a comeback this weekend after a nearly ten year hiatus. The event will be a 3-day festival of motorsports with a 71-car competition field filled with some of the best drivers and cars from around the world competing for “King of the Hill” honors. Check out Travis Pastrana’s record setting hillclimb in September 2010 for inspiration.

The entry list includes past course record holders, former and current rally champions, high-powered open-wheel cars, a vintage class filled with cars steeped in motorsports history and a first for the event; a purpose-built race-truck! Several local and veteran New England Forest Rally competitors will be competing including current Rally America points leader David Higgins and local rally drivers John Cassidy and Tim O’Neil.

Organized by Vermont SportsCar and sanctioned by the Sports Car Club of New Hampshire, the 2011 Mt. Washington Hillclimb will serve as one of several sporting events to help celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Mt. Washington Auto Road.

There will be live music, fireworks, a beer garden and plenty of great spectator options over the course of the weekend.

Event Dates: June 24-26
Location: The Mt. Washington Auto Rd, Pinkham Notch / New Hampshire
