My Pikes Peak Adventure

One of the best threads I have read on any forum, anywhere.

You must not read your own threads.

IMO one of the best threads around, awesome photos and story to go with them. Even the stat`s of everyone you posted is awesome. Thanks Connor this one!

Man, I keep reliving this event now that it`s fresh in my mind. I am so pumped for 2012! I really hope to make it back to Colorado for this event again, and I am DEFINITELY going to make it to Speedweek at Bonneville, then there is the vintage racing at Road America, and ALMS again, the monthly Cars & Coffee meets, the occasional Concours events in my area, autocross, and track days!

I`m in a serious automotive withdrawal right now. Le Sigh...

At least ice racing will be an option soon enough!

I honestly never had interest in going until I read this thread. Now its one the bucket list although it seems a shame that it is completely paved now.

Thanks for sharing the amazing photos and the experience of the event. Speedweek is something I would really like to see in person too.

Just a little off topic but I saw a movie called The Worlds Fastest Indian. It`s about a guy who is from New Zealand who wants to take his Indian to Speedweek to see what it could do. Has Anthony Hopkins as the main character.

While it is a shame that the dirt is gone, from a historical perspective, I am really excited to see what next year brings. Apparently next years event is already completely pre-registered for! People must think that a paved road will be a lot safer than dirt, but I think otherwise. 100% pavement means people can run super slicks, tighter suspension, and more effective aero packages, speeds are guaranteed to sky rocket!

Great shots! Definitely some great skill!

This is epic!

Hotel is booked for this year`s event. Only 2 months to go! Can`t wait.

And if anybody have any leads on where to stay during Speedweek at Bonneville it would be greatly appreciated! The event isn`t until mid-August but everything is booked already! Don`t wanna camp, as I plan on going there with the purpose to shoot photos, so I need electricity throughout the week to recharge batteries, run a laptop, etc.
