2011 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Practice Day 2 brings fresh pavement and fast times

2011 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Practice Day 2 brings fresh pavement and fast times

Early this morning (out the door at 3:00 am) we headed to Pikes Peak for the second of three practice sessions this week before race day on Sunday. Our final destination was the summit, where the Unlimited Class would be tackling the final third of the course. The past couple years more and more of the road has been paved, and for this year the final section has been completely paved over. The fresh tarmac should knock a few seconds off each car's overall time, increasing the chances that 2011 might be the year that the overall course record will be broken.
