Mt. Washington Climb to the Clouds 2021
Every three years, the Mt. Washington auto road hosts a hill climb. I attended in 2018 when Travis Pastrana set a new record of 5:44. He eclipsed his old record by 16 seconds yesterday. If you've driven the road you know. If you haven't the video doesn't quite show how narrow it is, or the steep fall-off above the tree line if you make a mistake.
Enjoy ... 5:28 seconds of his Subaru's 862hp symphony. |

Smoked my MC brakes once on that hill because I was too young and stupid to properly use the gearbox.

Where's the wildlife? They are going to have to make a little more interesting next year.

Dang motorcycles closed the mountain the day we were there. I wanted to go up, but only could look at it from the parking lot.
