100th edition is over and on the books.
Conditions were cold, cloudy with fog over most the course and intermittent sun in the middle. Starting line temps were 40s, summit was in the teens. Most cars needed extra time to put heat in the engines at the start.
Unofficial results, top ten. Interesting thing about this years results are the top positions are predominately different class vehicles. Typically the top spots are are locked down by the unlimited class cars. To see a range of classes within a second of each other at the top of the board is pretty amazing.

https://livetiming.net/ppihc/Found out there was live streaming available Sunday morning. Did watch some of the race on Mobile 1s Facebook link. Their live streaming coverage was fair. This is a tough race to cover. They had 7 cameras running most of the broadcast, but this was down from the 12 they had planned. Weather on the mountains impacts everybody, not just cars.
Cool stories of the week- Ralph Murdock, who first raced up The Peak in the 60s, returned for the 100th running at age 82, placing 11th in class. At the other end of the spectrum, 19 year old Loni Unser, daughter of Johnny, was on The Peak for her rookie year and is the fourth generation of Unser to compete on Pikes Peak, finishing 2nd in her class.
