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 14th, 2025
Support Driver Information:
https://mt-washington.com/mount-washington-road-race/for-racers/support-driver-instructions - please read it contains important information
TLDR:
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.
If you pay, you must have 2 riders and may have one passenger.
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.
Drivers should make a list of racers and bib number that they are picking up.
How to offer your ride down:
Post your car’s availability and look for runners here:

2025 Delta Dental Mount Washington Road Race—Ridesharing for Participants
If you are not on Facebook, contact the club here and we will help you find riders.
Where to meet other Teslas and your riders:
Everyone with a Tesla should meetup here the morning of the race to get the bib numbers from the runners. The bib number tear off is needed to go up the mountain. Or, alternatively meet up the day or night before the race. The race officials let us ride up together so after the race, we'll all park together to make us easy to find. We can do Tesla lightshows at the top too. Let your riders know to meet us here before the race:
After the race let your runners know to meet behind the Stage Office or in the Sherman Adams building if the weather is bad.
