The Lions Club of Newport Indiana runs the annual Hill Climb on the first Sunday of October when drivers take off from a standing start to race their vehicles against the clock up the steep hill on Main Street.
The Hill Climb is reportedly the third largest auto sports event that takes place each year in Indiana
This, 2025, was my second time attending the climb, when during a break in the action I climbed to the top of the hill to photograph the drivers as they neared the finish line.
I like the colors, the sense of speed and the looks on the drivers faces as they race their antique vehicles up to the checkered flags.
Having fun moving my camera with the pace of the cars attempting to capture the excitement and speed of drivers with pedal to the metal in cars many of which are over 100 years old.
Climb!
