Default Pictures from the Pike's Peak Hill Climb and a brief story...

The pictures below are the better ones from race day and give you and idea of where I sat at:

Uphill:

Downhill (cars came out of that corner at 100+ MPH):

The view I had from where I sat:

Durning the race, Subaru WRX #24 blew an IC line (and it was 1/2 mile away and you could hear it) and had to limp to where he could park his car for the rest of the race. Lucky me, it happened to be where I was and he ended up hanging out with us for the remainder of the race. Him and his dad are in the background:

Turns out this car is not only sponsered by Suzuki, but powered and developed by them too. It broke the previous time record of 10.4 minutes and clock in at 10.1.

It rocked. That WRX drive was a great guy too. Very friendly and not snooty towards fans.
