Mt. Equinox Vintage Hillclimb Manchester, Vermont Spring 1997 This is another great Vintage racing event. The race runs on the twisty five mile road to the top of Mt. Equinox. Cars race one at a time against the clock. Marshals with radios are stationed at various points on the hill to make sure two cars are not on the course at the same time. I got there too late to go up the hill to get a better vantage point so these sounds are recorded about forty feet past the start line. Like many small vintage racing events, everything is very low-key and you can walk right up and look at the cars. Fifties Allard idle one 13 sec 110k This Allard coupe had a Chrysler 392 Hemi.
