We had qualifying yesterday and I got third 3rd with a 4:55.
I am 38 seconds off the fastest bike which seems like a lot but being it's my first year and the Ducati guys have years of experience, I am really happy. Greg Tracy told me this was his 16 year! I am racing a gsxr 600..
Tomorrow should be fun!
Good luck to everyone racing!
Any guesses on the overall winner's time?
Think they'll break 9 minutes now that it's all paved?
Can't wait to drive up there myself... How is the pavement all the way up?
I'm not sure about breaking 9 minutes, I have not paid that much attention to the car times. The road is very good overall and actually better then some tracks I have raced on.
The road is very good. Last week they were running the street sweepers to take care of the marbles that were in a few places. I still miss the dirt. Even though I do know the road pretty well there are still a couple of places that I get mixed up at.Quote:

I crewed on a 14 time champ bike 1999-2005.
Good luck on your race... I haven't been in a few years to watch but its a blast.
I assume most Pike's Peak Hill Climb fans have seen this, but for those that haven't, this video is amazing
Very cool video and amazing skills. I've seen a lot of wannabes "riding" their Subaru race cars up the canyon from Boulder to Nederland that pretend to drive like this.Quote:
