We are inviting our members to help with the upcoming Mt Washington Road Race. This is not a Tesla Owners Club of New England sponsored event, just a volunteer opportunity.
For those who don’t know, every year there is a road race (runners) up the Mt Washington Auto Road. Every year runners *scramble* to find rides down the mountain after the race. We think this is a great opportunity to show off our Teslas to the local community. - Who wouldn’t want a ride in a Tesla? (NO braking down the mountain - Perfect) Also a great opportunity to ride up the Mt Washington Auto Road, hang out with other Tesla Owners and enjoy the view for FREE. (See conditions below) We can even do synchronized light shows to cheer the runners on!
Here are some details:
Date: Saturday June 17th
Support Driver Information:
https://mt-washington.com/mount-washington-road-race/for-racers/support-driver-instructions - please read it contains important information
TLDR:
If you pay, you must have 2 riders and may have one passenger.
To get FREE passage you need 3 runners and NO passengers. Should be easy to get. Who would not want a ride in a Tesla! I recommend getting 4 riders just in case someone gets a last-minute injury.
The road opens at 6:30 am and closes at 8 am. No exceptions. Might be good to get a hotel the night before.
The runners must meet you prior to the race and give you a pass that is torn off their bib number.
They and you should bring warm clothing. Clean out your trunk and frunk to have space.
The weather at the top is unpredictable.
Arrange a place to meetup in the morning or day before and after the race at the top of the mountain.
You MUST be committed to driving them down the mountain. They will be exhausted and very grateful.
