Competitors

One day. One run to the summit of Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain. From multi-million dollar racing prototypes to hometown garage-built beasts, the intent of our rules is broad enough to include six divisions – something for almost everyone. Competitors apply for the coveted invitation-only event and must document their car’s ability to compete and demonstrate a proven history of driver skill.
