We are taking 10 days in colorado beginning with the Pikes Peak Hill Climb..

I saw tickets are $40 but I am thinking, its one road and they are racing on it, so how does this work, do you need to get there early to get a good spot? And then just stay untill its over?? They have camping one day a year and thats the day of the race, so I take it people shell out the $100 to get a good camping spot the day before so they have a good spot the day of.

If one wasnt going to camp out, is there a good place to view the race?

 

The racers are spaced out since it's all about time within the class of vehicle. I would assume you get there early and stay until racing is done for the day but I have never been there so I don't know for sure. When is the Hill Climb? Maybe I'll head down there and check it out also.

 

Are you bring your truck and will you be in the denver area so we might be able to get you on a trail run, if so when.

The link is the website for the Hill Climb. It is July 19, starting at 8 am. I am going to be there at 4 am when the gates open to head up the mountain. Might try to sneak down to the Springs on Friday or Saturday to take part in the fan fest. 2 beer gardens, that has to make for a good time.

 

We plan on leaving here the 17, will probably hang around Colorado Springs area for a couple days, go to the hill climb and then head west and south and end up in New Mexico before heading home.

Thanks for the offer Mike, not sure if we will make it up to Denver..
