The best donuts are at the Mt Hamilton Observatory. The ride on the back side is pretty nice too.

In addition to the 1st Place Champion, can anyone remember who won the prestigious “Rookie of the Year” award at last year’s, 2022, Santa Clara Endurance Run & Lowland Tour?
And, who was it that won the “Hard Luck Trophy”?
This is such a fun and well organized event. …and it is for ALL Model Ts, not just speedsters.

A picture of the cars at Lick Observatory. One of the observatory's telescope domes in the background. The route this year took us over Mount Hamilton from the San Jose side. The observatory is at the summit of Mount Hamilton @ 4265 ft. The route is a narrow winding 1½- 2 lane road with many 120 degree switchbacks. This was the 52nd running of this event.
On edit- here is a link to the observatory's web page that includes some history. The observatory was 1st built in the late 1800's.

The facebook page for the observatory has some additional pictures and comment regarding the cars climbing to the summit on Sunday.
