The Colorado Hill Climb Association (CHCA) was founded in 1971 to promote “hill climb” racing in Colorado and surrounding states. The club’s first race was held in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The CHCA was to be an off-shoot of the famed Pikes Peak Hill Climb and a place for racers to test their cars, hone their skills and have a great time more than one race a year. Many of the original members were (and some still are) active throughout the past 39 years throughout various race venues in the Pikes Peak region and beyond.
The CHCA, while promoting the great sport of automobile racing, works hard with local community members, business, the Forest Service and law enforcement agencies throughout the state to host safe, competitive and entertaining activities for racers and fans alike. Twice per year the racers make their way to Rangely, once in June and again in September to run up the hills of western Rio Blanco County. This June, 54 competitors entered in the races in Rangely.
