[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16787886, member: 51947"] Have a family friend (David Donner) running a new Porsche 911 Turbo S in stock class. He's won the event in several classes and overall several times over the years. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1136238_david-donner-out-to-reclaim-pikes-peak-record-in-a-stock-porsche-911-turbo-s[/URL] His brother was killed durring a race in the '90s, hitting a deer. His uncle Buster was on the event board and best friends with my uncle. My late uncle Fred sponsored cars several years in the 90s via his company IFR Systems. He picked the number, 2 after his old Hockey number "The Dirty Deuce" as he called it. My cousin and I have this one in our garages, his is fancy/framed... mine is good for a poster that's 30 years old, hung in the open in rooms and a few garages. I'm so thankful the 10min mark was broken the year before they paved it. Nobuhiro Tajima in a Suzuki in '11 running unlimited at 9:51:58 , his old recoord was 10:01 in '07. He's raced it since '88. He deserved it, so much energy, time and focus invested nearly 2 decades in making it up under 10. The current record is 7:57.158 by an electric VW. We've likely seen the end of ICE powered cars setting records. The electric cars will likely hold the title for the foreseeable future. But sadly, it's not the same as it was, used to be you could watch from anywhere, and move through the day. Now you are pent up in one of a handful of spectator areas. I haven't been since that. Then of course the Sierra club forced it all to be paved.

There's a video a Randy Pobst testing in the summit section. in a hopped up Tesla 3 hitting one in a breaking zone for a hard right turn called "botomless pit". He made an off course excursion into into the dirt the cut the switchback from at 40mph. "botomless pit." [MEDIA=youtube]4ujuSx03eUw[/MEDIA] He's finally running a S Plaid this year, just qualified earlier today. I'm told it was moving.[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220623/c01e98d8b54a5430f86b9861044a9e6f.jpg[/IMG] Sent from my S22 Ultra using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
