oh
you guys are going to get something a little different from us we're at the pikes peak
international hill climb in colorado we're tagged along with the paul dollenback open wheel team
my wife does their pr but uh here's a view from our hotel room just give you guys an idea of how
big the mountain is it's out way out here is the mountain that looks the range looks close but
we're still about an hour and 15 to an hour and 30 minutes away from the summit house so it's a
bit of a trip i'm gonna do a time lapse of our way up there in the morning i'm gonna try to do
something i don't know if i'm gonna do every day but most of the time up there
for the practice days i think the practice days are really cool because it's first thing in the
morning we race at first light the mountains separated into three segments um because we got
to be off the mountain before the state park opens so really cool experience so i'm going to try to
relay that to you guys the best i can from a kind of a crew perspective i'm not really doing a lot
on the car i'm just again just tagging along so it should be pretty neat so check it out
so
how cool is this
14 000 feet so it's starting to come up got the warmers all on the car oils up the temp
already surrounded by race cars no better way to start the day um
so
um
so
um
all right first run up went pretty good put a little camber out of the back
back in setup mode here got the tire warmers back on it
get ready for the next round remember the time it's a decent though we're pretty happy for the
first hit so see how the next one goes see if we can get better just never get sick of this
so cool be up here with all the race
cars
uh
hmm
so
um
foreign
oh
all right check it out i walked up this trail a little bit it's
so pretty up here this is just crazy um so first session went okay sorry
looks like our the best from last year was a 240 something we're looking for a 2 30 hit
that next time around but as the sun comes off and the road starts to get
some heat into it up here when we got up here it was probably i didn't look it was probably
40 degrees or so but it's mid 50s or so now i got to keep in mind we are 14 000 feet
yeah um oh having a good time helping these guys out they're putting me to work which i just love
i'm not good at not a good spectator but yeah we're gonna set one session out because of
where the sun is makes it difficult in some parts of the tracks or the road i should say
and then we're gonna yeah made some changes already so we're getting ready to head back up
foreign
mmm
so
uh
so
so we're on our way down the mountain uh last session did good but it was his best
time ever was at 2 36 and we did a 237 um so made some changes the last time down
went well the second time we just turned the car around we didn't even put it up on jacks to make
any adjustments so definitely happy with that that's it for uh day one of practice or testing
or whatever tomorrow i believe we're on the bottom section which is qualifying correct yeah
tomorrow is our qualifying thing so yeah check it out i'll upload that soon as i get it edited
