I made the trek once again to Pikes Peak, here are some highlights.
Not as much Audi content, but with the RS200's, Hackl's A2, and of course Peugeot's presence, the event had a very Group B feel to it.
Some shots from Fan Fest, it was hard to get as many pics this year - super crowded.
The morning started with bikes, vintage, electric, and trikes / quads.
Unfortunately, 2 of the three riders that crashed near us went down the mountain in a chopper. One as of writing this still in serious condition.
The cars started with the King, soon to be King of the Hill, and then followed by subsequent classes.
David Hackl's A2 thundering into the Half Way Picnic Area
Just like last year, Jeremy Foley's car went past smoking like a chimney.
'Monster' Tajima's electric went past with screaming sirens and one hell of a whooossshhhh
Here was another electric, before...
How about a battery fire?
And after...
Some Open Wheel Action
The only car with a passenger...
Awesome Subaru 22b Diesel Boxer
Vintage La Carrera Pan Americana Iron
Always a crowd favorite!
It was SO entertaining to hear the locals talk about the 'rookie' 'fench guy' in the Peugeot. He was the first car up the hill, one guy next to me said 'if thats a rookie I can wait to see the Pro's run'. I chuckled and said to him, you won't see another run like that by anyone today.
Seeing the drivers parade down the mountain was cool. All of them had a sense of 'Im very happy to be driving down this b*tch in one piece'
Pat Doran was especially happy to be driving down the hill, his team painstakingly put that car back together after what was rumored to be a race-ending crash in practice.
Hackl is happy with his 6th place in class finish
