Default Pikes peak race

Who all watched the race on sunday? Was it still thrilling even though it was all paved? It still proves to be dangerous It is crazy how strong they can make these vehicles to protect the drivers.

And they had a crash in the same spot last year! And it always seems to be Mitsubishi evo's that crash.

Maybe they should call them Mitsubishi "EVils".

That's a local racer here in Texas. Both went to the hospital, but will be okay. I believe the passenger cracked his helmet on a boulder and suffered some injuries from the impact. Otherwise, last I heard, they were both beaten and bruised, but largely okay. Amazing!
