Here: sorry.

Climb to the Clouds is not at Pikes Peak.

This crazy thing is at Climb to the Clouds (Mt. Washington):

Ah, rule on wheelbase restriction? Can you say understeer, or is it power oversteer, sliding sideways spectacularly losing time. Or is the road THAT tight he needs ROTATION in a corner NOW?

It is probably using the stock engine and transaxle. Audi has always been putting their engines way out front, you just don't see it because it is surrounded by car.

"Climb to the Clouds is not at Pikes Peak."

Well yeah. but I live at more altitude than Mt (rolls eyes) Washington. . . .

and what equals Pike's Peak? (google Climb Dance)

all the best!

Is the intercooler the bumper? What happens if you get lite and come down on the nose?

Cursing, losing, buying, welding, and more cursing.

That belongs to Paul Tingaud. It's extremely fast. Homebuilt hillclimber based around Audi 5000 mechanicals if I recall.

The Patriot: 113mph

Paul pilots the Super chicken(tube framed audi) quite well. He was third overall. Looked pretty surreal coming out of the clouds past where I was working. Like something out of mad max. The patriot upped his top speed record to 114 by the end of the day. Not bad for a guy who's had quadruple bypass surgery. Higgin's drive to the new record time was nothing less than outstanding. The gentleman with the freightliner also did a hell of a job. That truck barely fit on most of the course.

Also met and worked a checkpoint with a fellow grm forum member. Good to meet you by the way. I think I see a hillclimb in your future.

also tooks some cell phone pics linkie

That was me... thanks again for answering all of my questions and explaining the details so well

It was nice to meet you as well, and I am definitely still planning on some hillclimbing in the not too distant future...

still unpacking and recovering, but one quick pic for those who could not make it:

I still have about 600 more to upload

Truly awesome events. The fog at the top was frightful at times and the view on the dirt section daunting!

I was working the finish controls all 3 days.

The Freightliner was virtually silent!
