Pikes Peak Hill Climb 2024

Thank you for the write up and pics! I watched a lot of it on YT...which I might not do again. There was a LOT of filler talk going on in between starts and red flags. It was to bad that EV lightning had and issue. Might have gone sub 8 seconds as it was stopped/rebooted for 20 seconds and you figure in the slow-down and reacceleration. That first black and gold Mustang sounded really rowdy!! Cole Powelson in that open wheel "go-kart" was a real surprise - 4th overall!! Only (;)) 450hp!!
I've driven up the mountain twice, once in the Toyota 4x4 DLX and the other in the 5.0. Both times I know I was gripping the wheel very hard!! I think the 5.0 was a bit worse, though, as I am much lower and you can't see as much. As you know, you can be headed towards a corner, be on the outside, and all you can see is sky beyond the edge with no guard rails!
Thanks again!

We were joking about the filler talk. It has to be one of the hardest races to cover because there is a lot of down time!
