Race day was unique for the 100th anniversary of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The field was drastically reduced and that promised to get everyone up the hill before the afternoon weather came in. The only problem was that water from the previous night's rain had not yet abated. This was obviously going to … Continue reading Pikes Peak 2016: Sidecars To The Summit PART 1

Motorcycles were on the top section today, running from Devil's Playground to the Summit. Conditions were excellent with only a light wind, clean surfaces (some oil on the track from yesterday proved a non-issue) and fairly warm track temperatures. It serves to note that by "track" we are talking about a section of asphalt that … Continue reading Pikes Peak 2016: Thursday Practice
