I didn't know much about Pikes Peak before I watched that vidyo...

The surface change is ridiculous!!!

Not much cop on the loose surface though is it??

I,ve been there a couple of times ( family live there ). Brave people, it's a hell of a drop to the bottom.

That looks a mean machine indeed, but once you're off the tarmac I can't help thinking less power and more wheel drive would be better.

Would love to go and watch the racing first hand

Is it likely to be televised anywhere - on the web maybe?

There's loads of footage on YouTube. Have a look, there's some really spectacular drives a
nd filming!

Reposted from another thread......

If you are anywhere remotely close to Pikes Peak, you have to drive it....it is an amazing , scary peice of road...about 12,000 ft you pass the tree line...the trees suddenly just don't exist anymore and it's all rocky and dusty and you find yourself looking down at the clouds.....awesome road... and that's just dawdling along in a rental car.......
