WEATHERLY, CARBON COUNTY - It's a tough mountain to beat, but dozens of drivers gave it a shot this weekend in Carbon County.

The annual Weatherly Hill Climb drew dozens of racers. Sixty-five cars tried to beat the best time up one mile of hairpin curves.

Joe Cyburt of the Weatherly Hill Climb Association says they give the profits back to the community for the kids, “What we do is after we pay our bills, is we try to help out with the youth groups here in town, if we're fortunate enough to have enough money.”

The Weatherly Hill Climb is run twice a year. The next one is in September.
