Pikes Peak was a much better race before they paved it all the way to the top.......
Amen. Even driving on it back in the 70's was a fun excerise.Quote:

I raced it in '78 on a modified Harley Davidson Flat Track bike.... It did not go so well... Can't remember exactly but I finished low in my class. One time deal though.Quote:

Didn't race it just drove up it. Was a some what interesting time on the dirt road. Saw Denver in the distance and surrounded by smog and said I ain't moving there.
Um, do you have windows in your home in AJ? Want a good view of that Phx smog.:bwaha:
We have some diesel nuts here but they go to bonneville. :shrug:
Yeah the inversion can be bad but I'm glad to live in the foothills slightly above it.
And, this is the time of year to do it. The Salt Flats dry out just enough near Wendover.Quote:
