Palomar Mountain Hill Climb

One of the highlights of the West Coast Lotus Meet (WCLM) held in and around San Diego was the Palomar Mountain Hill Climb. The organizers of WCLM managed to get a section of this fantastic road shut down for a whole day to allow 50+ cars to race up the mountain.
This video shows my second run when the weather was a little warmer.

Amazing, I'm so stoked to see a SoCal Hill Climb!

That's so cool they got it closed down for the run. We need to make it the next pikes peak!

I live at the top of the road where this event occurred. This group responsibly organized a safe event and contributed directly to the state of California economy.

Thank you for your kind words. The San Diego Lotus club organized a great event and ensured the local residents were part of the process.

Such a fun day!! I wish I had done something to block the wind noise on my runs up there the same day. But what a blast!!!

It is much better than not being shut down

Living right at Palomar mountain and driving/riding it several times a week this is sort of funny to watch like what's the big deal? The great thing about the east side is the double yellow is simply paint1 No divets or reflectors etc so drifing over it is nothing if one wants to break the law that is lol Not saying I do but a person COULD use the whole road where there is good visability and no oncoming traffic ...which is a lot of places a lot of the time ....of course there IS some traffic NO ONE can control even with legal permission to race on the road ....which of course is WILDLIFE lol ....there are Deer, Turkey, Coyote, and many suicide squirrels not to mention the potential of domestic animals ....at least all the bear are gone these days....supposedly anyway lol

What a privilege to have that road at your doorstep! Having it to ourselves for a whole day was so much fun and I know everyone in the Lotus club is grateful to the local residents for allowing us to have use of it. Thanks
