Sprint to Pikes Peak Ep. 27

[@jeffreyrhine1956]

Thank you for showing your appreciation to the PHC and how it is a close knit group.

[@genxunclekey]

I'd like to see these sprint cars at the Euro and Brit hillclimbs. Think they would get a kick out of it.

[@johnfiore91]

@@genxunclekey I would absolutely love that!!!!

[@billnparts]

A shame your luck went the way it did. Sunday the sun came out and the road dried. It was a glorious day. Good to meet you. See you next year.

[@johnfiore91]

Overall I’m happy with our efforts but racing Sunday would have been very beneficial and a lot more fun lol. Great meeting you as well!

[@DenebBrown]

Great job! It was so nice meeting you and your family.

[@johnfiore91]

Thanks and great meeting you also!!!

[@metalted6128]

[@HotRodMonza1776]

PROPS Man taking a left hander both ways!!!!!

[@johnfiore91]

Thank you! There isn’t much left of a traditional car so that it would turn both ways lol

[@JCCustomsCNC]

Amazing dude! keep up the great work

[@johnfiore91]

Very appreciated, thanks and we’ll do our best!

[@metalted6128]

What motor are you running!! Sounds very healthy!!

[@2sipsMax]

Do you plan on using any wings on the car?

[@johnfiore91]

That is the eventual plan, I want to concentrate on the car without aero first and figure out what kind of modifications an oval car wing needs besides the obvious.

[@davidaarons2488]

Glad ya got there and drove to the top, next time you will more prepared because ya know how the event goes. 2 more marks and yer golden. Curious, have ya considered running a wing?

[@johnfiore91]

Thanks man, we definitely will be better prepared after learning a lot from this. We will definitely be running wings eventually (especially for Pikes) but they’ll have to be custom a probably very expensive. I’m not worrying about aero right now though, there is a lot to sort out and I have to learn how to drive both the car and hillclimbs. Like you said, two more marks!

[@Hotrodclassic]

Ive always wanted to build a Pikes Peak Car as a (kid but believe it or not ) when they forced paved it i lost a little interest .Being a huge fan of Jim Hall’s Chaparral’s i wanted to have a adjustable WING…! Now seeing you have run this midget gives me some hope again like old SMOKEY THE Ford Pickup…! So I think the FACTORY FIVE CARS would be interesting..LIGHTWEIGHT, BUILD IT YOURSELF, ADD A WING for a little downforce, ‘’CHEVROLET POWER ‘’ BIG T.B.M. BRAKES and dad your on TOP..!!! …. GOOD LUCK TO YOU IN THE FUTURE …!
