A few days ago, while having lunch the Matt, Broker for Diamond Dwellings Realty, his assistant, Nick and Doug from SoftRealty IDX, the conversation turned to cars… and then racing… and then rally racing… and then Pike’s Peak. Shocker… I pushed the conversation toward cars.
Doug was familar, but I think that Matt and Nick were less familar with the very idea of the Pike’s Peak Race to the Clouds. So, one of the things we talked about was a video called Climb Dance.
So, here are a selection of videos from Pike’s Peak… starting with Climb Dance.
Of special note are the scenes around 3:00 and 3:50 in the clip. It show EXACTLY how nasty the drop-offs are.
Here are a couple of links of a complete run filmed with a camera on the front bumper of a Porsche Ruf CTR… Part I and Part II
And the other video is a promo for the event showing the variety of machines that are raced up to the Peak. It is truly amazing.

I always like it when I hear the answer “with four wheels” when the question is “what type of racing do you like?” I’m going to make Matt a fan…
