The rounds of U.S. Auto Shows – combined with a select few from overseas - are important to the press and the public to get a sense of the next great vehicle to come. Who knows? If it’s flash enough with a respectable base of consumer practicality, they may just move from concept to production.
On Tuesday 12/11, you'll get to see a classic episode of Chasing Classic Cars where Wayne Carini goes through his plan to market and then sell th Porsche Special Hill Climb Car. He takes it to the Hershey Hill Climb race to put it through its paces and has a darn good time doing it. But that doesn't stop him from taking it to auction.
THough the Hill Climb took place back in June, we were lucky enough to have Kenneth Visser - automobile fan, blogger and photographer extraordinaire on site and reporting back on the action. Take a walk down memory lane below, and don't forget to tune in to Chasing Classic Cars starting on Tuesday 12/11 starting at 9p.
Another fine tradition has been reignited with the second running of the The Grand Ascent Hillclimb held on the grounds of the Hershey Hotel. This is a VSCCA sanctioned hill climb exhibition and features a wide variety historic racing cars thundering up a five turn three quarters of a mile long course. A unique opportunity to see, hear and smell vintage race cars slamming gears. This event was reignited with the start of the Elegance At Hershey. We'll talk more about the Concours later. Let's take a look at some of the neat machinery that was attacking the hill.
Wayne Carini was selected as the Honary Grand Marshall of the Grand Ascent. He brought his smile and his driving skills to the hill.
Wayne Carini of Chasing Classic Cars took the Bill Rutan VW* special with a 356 four cam motor up the hill. Wayne spoke about the rides up later "I had a blast" And his sub 57 second times were reflective of his blistering pace.

The auto world lost a legend on May 10th when Carroll Shelby died at the age of 89. There is so much to say about the man and the legacy he left on the racing world – both with his wins and his cars. In fact, most people start talking about his famous Shelby Cobra.
Yet after reading so much about Carroll Shelby the unique thread about his life that really inspired me was that he was a true individual and a man who never gave up. He never quit his dreams when life threw him a curve. The man from Leesburg, Texas just raced right through it.
In Velocity’s in-depth tribute Carroll Shelby: King of the Road airing this Sunday night, May 20th starting at 8 p.m. E/P we’ll learn just about everything there is to know about Shelby and his cars . And while you watch, look for that theme – the man who never quit.
