Yea, me too... In 1977, I drove my 73 Challenger to the top. I was having fun kicking the ass-end out on the gravel curves, til the Park Ranger in the 4wd Suburban lit me up. He was none too pleased... But after a stern lecture, he let me go with a verbal warning... So you are admitting here on moparts a Suburban caught up with you driving a 73 Challenger while ascending Pikes peak? And TC, isn't saying getting a "tire Off the asphalt the difference between winning and losing" more like the difference in 4000ft? Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Go off in the trees and you not going any further than a 100 feet or so. The really dangerous aspect of the race is hitting wildlife. Almost no cars are designed to keep a deer out of the cockpit if you hit one at 100+ mph. Bobby Donner was killed that way back in the '89 Teller County Hillclimb that way. Dropping a tire off the asphalt is what looks like happened in the Pat Doran crash.

It used to an interesting looking car. http://jalopnik.com/this-insane-pikes-peak-racer-is-actually-a-corvette-pow-465520230

There are only 6 cars in vintage this year, 2 Mustangs(1 GT350), 2 911s, 1 Falcon and 1 Camaro. Unlimited, Time Attack, and Open classes are the msot populated in the automotive segment. Appearing this year in exhibition, a 532 hp turbocharged Honda Odyssey mini van; http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/h...-194047271.html

Thats a drawback of pavement. Best info I can gather is Sebastien has shattered the record at 8 minutes and change.

As a bonus, they show all the cars, and one truck, running this year as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAw2xIULGMs Here is one showing why watching the hillclimb may be considered a participant sport; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTAzC6mNduU Eventually they all gotta come back down: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1vZlLe8fIA And if you think the tarmac ruined it all, rest assured we still have dirt hillclimbs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGFwtBstD54
