Fuel Curve’s Top 10 Stories of the Year #2

Editor’s Note: In this countdown series we are reviewing our favorite ten stories of 2017, stories you may have missed or enjoyed so much you wouldn’t mind seeing them again. We have been here just seven and a half months but it seems like much longer. Scouring the globe to find the coolest cats, cars and trucks, we have successfully established this platform to showcase the people and the power. So CJ and I thought it would be good to review ten of our favorites. CJ and I both weigh in on why we liked them so much. Enjoy!

Full Story @ Hot Rod Hill Climb 2017 – A Hopped Up Happenin’!

John: It takes a special eye to capture the essence of an event. Anyone can go along and snap ¾-front car photos but it takes a pro to paint a picture with a camera lens. Colorado native Lindsey Fisher did just that with this special story. Her passion for this event burns bright. She calls it her “favorite event going right now.” And really, what’s not to like about it? Bitchin’ hot rods, enthusiastic friends lookin’ the part, scenic vistas in every direction and a vintage vibe to boot. It’s clearly a time capsule. One which founder and promoter Mike Nicholas brought back to life in period-correct fashion. And it’s held in a Cathedral. Cathedral City, Colorado that is…

CJ: This was one of the highest rated stories of the year in terms of page views. It’s obvious the creative content here drove tens of the thousands to click the link to see Lindsey’s portrayal of this popular hot rod happenin’. Through our contributors, we are able to have a Fuel Curve team member in place at select events around the country to capture the magic. I was blown away by not only the cars but the painstaking detail the organizers go through to make this event live up to its vintage aesthetic. The cars, the clothes and the headwear are on point! Makes me want to climb to the clouds with these hot rod purists!
