📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
The Newport Antique Auto Hill Climb is an annual festival that takes place on the first Sunday of October in Newport, Indiana, organized and sponsored by the Lions Club of Newport and the Town of Newport. The main event is a series of timed runs in which antique automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles from the Steam, Brass, Vintage, Antique, and Classic Car eras ascend the town's steep, 1800-foot-long Main Street hill as quickly as possible. The festival is the second-largest auto event in Indiana after the Indy 500 and Brickyard 400.
