PINKHAM NOTCH — Speeding will once again be allowed, even encouraged this August when the 2021 Mt. Washington Hillclimb takes place on the famed Mt. Washington Auto Road on Aug. 13-15.
The Sports Car Club of New Hampshire announced Wednesday the event, originally scheduled for July 9-11, but moved back due to COVID-19 concerns, will take place a month later.
