The day before The Elegance at Hershey, the same grounds hosted a vintage auto race. The Grand Ascent found antique cars, some over a century old, speeding up the hill behind the Hershey Hotel! It was a sight to see...but you should have been there HEAR and FEEL it! The deep bass of the Mercedes' exhaust could be felt in your chest! It was amazing. Check out the pictures at the link below.

What are your thoughts? Are there similar vintage hillclimbs near you? Did you go to THIS one?

Some sweet rides, that would have been fun to go to.

Try to make plans for the show this year. There's nothing quite like watching, hearing, and feeling these cars as they race up the hill.
