While the old Sport Hill Road race course in Easton, CT has evolved into a multi-lane high traffic state road, we still want to celebrate Fairfield County's contribution to modern day auto racing as we know it. Before the Indianapolis Speedway, or even the Vanderbilt Cup closed course races on Long Island - there were Hill Climbs, and none more popular than the one held right here in Easton, CT.
On Saturday May 24th, the Fairfield County Region of the Horseless Carriage Club aims to tip our hat to those early autoneers and risktakers by hosting a demonstration and car show, working with the town of Easton, the Antique Automobile Club of America, the CT Seaport Car Club, and various other car clubs like the Model A Ford Club of America.
