Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

August 12th, 2012

I know this might be jumping the gun, but I'm going to make a list for those who want to meet up. The Fan Fest which is July 6th is before the actual hill climb.

As the time gets closer, I will update the thread.

As a note, for the 2012 hill climb, the entire race is now on paved road. Kinda sad, but interesting to see how it will change things.

It's too early for me to know if I can go

Yeah, I'd like to see how that turns out with a fully paved road.

I will be at fan fest. I don't have word if I'm on a crew yet or not for the race this year.

you don't get to show off your car at fan fest so it doesn't really matter.

you aren't going to be able to race it lol.

It looks like I will most likely be on crew again so I should be in the pits.

I'll be spectating, prob won't make fan fest.

I'll be spectating, not sure if Im gonna do the fan fest. Secondly, if anybody is curious about ticket prices and when to arrive past the toll gates as a spectator read the following from USACRACING. http://www.usacracing.com/ppihc/about/faq

Question: When does the race start and how much is a ticket?

Answer: The race starts at 9:00 am, however you will need to plan to arrive much earlier than that. The road opens at 4:00 am and no spectator cars will be allowed past Crystal Reservoir after 8:00 am on Race Day.

Once you are on the mountain, unless you park below the starting line, you will not be able to leave the mountain until the race is completed. Depending on how the race progresses (no crashes, etc.) this can be anytime from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. An official will release your parking area. Use a low gear on your descent. Hot brakes fail!

Cost for general admission is $40.00 per person 10 and older, $45.00 on race day. The single admission ticket allows you to view the main event (Race Day). The cost for VIP admission is $80.00 per person 10 and older,pre-purchase only, not available on race day. The VIP ticket is for the start line area ONLY. The VIP ticket includes breakfast, lunch and beverages. Tickets can be purchased at King Soopers along the Front Range and all TicketsWest locations (or 866-464-2626), TCI Tire locations in Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Highway Tollgate (race week.)
