Naahhhh, aint no one rolled more than 1000' and even then the boulders will stop you. 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. Quote:
My sister told me a vette was wrecked too, she lives about 30 miles from there.

That would be the link I posted above. A corvette powered NSX actually. It used to an interesting looking car. http://jalopnik.com/this-insane-pikes-peak-racer-is-actually-a-corvette-pow-465520230

Sadly, Jess Neal and his '71 Cuda are not returning to defend his vintage class win from last year. 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
