Pikes Peak Hill Climb (Colorado Event)
Sunday, July 27th, 2008My friends and I have been going to this hill climb for a number of years. Here is a video from near the summit (Devils Playground). They just recently paved it as it used to be dirt all the way to the top. The race dates back to 1915 and is pretty spectacular to see. At the top there aren’t any trees, the air is too thin so it presents a challenge for cars that run on gas. There have been a few electric cars in the event too.

you may need quicktime to watch this, if you have quicktime the link should open in a browser window…If not there is always (right click save as).
I went to the race a few years ago and had a good time, I’ve not been back since its been paved.
