Climb To The Clouds Mt Washington NH: 2005
In case you missed the 100th anniversary Climb To The Clouds celebration in 2004, the Climb returns in 2005:
Greetings from the Mt. Washington Auto Road, the site of the historic "Climb to the Clouds" auto race which was first run July 11-12 in 1904.
We are happy to announce and invite you to the
2004 Climb to the Clouds Vintage Car Weekend on July 9-10, 2005!
Recognized as one of America's oldest motorsports event, the Climb to the Clouds pre-dates the Indianapolis 500, first held in 1911 and the inaugural Pikes Peak Hillclimb of 1916.
The race was originally created by early auto manufacturers to showcase their new inventions. The steep and narrow Mt. Washington Carriage Road (now the Mt. Washington Auto Road) was considered to be the ultimate site to prove the ability of these now historic vehicles. Opened in 1861, the Auto Road is America's oldest manmade attraction and leads to the summit of 6,288 foot Mt. Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast.
