55 Model-T’s will race from New York City to Seattle this summer
You can’t get much more nurdly than a model T, not to mention 55 of them as they commemorate the 1909 race that was part of the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition. Wherever possible they’ll use the exact route and layover schedule as the original race. So on July 12 the winner should be arriving at the University of Washington’s Drumheller Fountain. I’m not sure how much of a race it is when the destination date is known, but what the heck, it’s model T’s! There is an official race website with pictures.
The buzz doesn’t seem to have caught on with the press however. Aside from one contestant with a blog, who may or may not post on the race, there doesn’t seem to be anywhere yet to get roadside updates. If you know of any, please add info!




I wonder how many of them will actually make it to the finish.
