Videos From The Last Race
Here's a little something to hold you over while I work on the write up for the event, which was stellar. Two close 2nd place victories with a 1st time passenger, Mike Root.

Way too late to go into detail or upload photos. We breezed through tech inspection. There was an unusual amount of attention to say the least. The small crowd was very enthusiastic, and a strange murmuring started when we pulled the bodywork off. Everyone is really nice and very sidecar friendly. Hans Shultz has a … Continue reading Pikes Peak 2011 Day 1: Tech Inspection
