    I missed seeing this event my one day last month. I was in Reno for the air races to see a good friend's Brother race. On Friday, we drove to Virginia City, Nevada. This is the old silver mining town that is quite famous. Well I saw a TR on the street that evening and after speaking to the owner found out that the annual Ferrari Hillclimb sponsored by the Northern California chapter was being run the next two days. Here is a link to a video clip that one of the members made. It loads very slow. After all the still photos shown, there is an "in car" video that was shot of one of the Ferraris making the run.

    As you can see, a lot of cars run this event. (The road is blocked off. Yes a public road - in the U.S. blocked off for a private car event.)
