PIKES PEAK 2011 HILLCLIMB June 26!!!

[Eric]

I think next year might be the best year. Currently the "rules" and "classes" pretty much make it so anything with wheels can race up. Think of all the cool vintage cars that were afraid of the gravel, old F1 cars, prototype cars, supercars, anything is possible. However, I think it will only last a few years once they see how fast they can go up the hill when it's all paved. It will be very unsafe. While it sucks to see the gravel go, this will be a completely different race.

completely agree.:drink:

For those that didn't see the Jalopnik hacked road sign at pikes peak "Caswell For The Win". I loled but didn't have my camera handy. We knew it would show up though.

That was sweet, we got a huge laugh out of that. Clark got pics too.

Here are some pictures that Google Picasa seemed to make grainy/weird looking.

Great pics!

That Crawford Subaru no longer looks anything like that.

And the Evo that drove down the hill with 3 tires.

That would be Dave Kern. This was the third or fourth year for him and his wife at Pikes Peak. He clipped a guardrail and the tire finally gave out at about a mile from the top.

Watch these in HD:

Monster's 9:51.276 second run.


Val and Brendan's run

Watching them side-by-side makes me feel like Val and Brendan are out for a leisurely drive in the fall to see the leaves changing.

haha, or that Monster's video is on fast-forward.

Val and Brendan did a great job, great lines through the corners but they were seriously down on power/gearing compared to the 910hp turbo Suzuki.

Oh dude, not ragging on their performance... still faster than I'd be going hehe.

[Bimmerman325i]

totally agree. Serious kudos to those two for doing it.

That video of Monster is ridiculous.

I want to go up in some old 2002 in the vintage class sometime soon. I am too scared to go in anything with any significant horsepower.

Awesome! I am definitely going next year. Colorado wins.
