Hey Everyone,

We ran this press release yesterday, but I havent seen anything mentioned here yet. So I figured I would post it for all of you to read:

THE TOYO TIRES REDLINE TIME ATTACK PRESENTED BY HAWK PERFORMANCE BRAKE PADS RACES TO THE CLOUDS AT THE PIKES PEAK INTERNATIONAL HILL CLIMB

Pikes Peak, Colorado, 04/25/2006 - The Toyo Tires REDLINE TIME ATTACK presented by Hawk Performance Brake pads will once again make history in an unprecedented time trial event that will test driver and car alike, with the first ever REDLINE TIME ATTACK at Pike's Peak! Joining forces with the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb, come July 1, 2006, Redline promises to bring the best in time trial action to the Peak's 2.8 mile paved section, in the first point-to-point tarmac-rally-style battle in REDLINE TIME ATTACK's traditionally race-circuit-based time trial series.

No race event in the world presents the unique challenges facing competitors at the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb. Since 1916, this historical event has been soaring over 4000 feet in altitude to the 14,100 foot summit and finish line, placing incredible demands not only on the vehicle, but also on the driver's ability to stay alert and focused despite breathing air thin enough to make seasoned mountain climbers cringe.

Normally reserved for specially prepared cars built to handle the mixed tarmac and gravel surfaces of Pike's Peak, the REDLINE TIME ATTACK will utilize the 2.8 mile paved section of the hill in order to allow competitors to use their street and circuit prepared machines to get a taste of high-altitude excitement. Only 24 slots are available in this unprecedented tarmac rally event, with eight cars being allowed in each drive-train configuration (front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive), so sign up as soon as possible to ensure your position in the roster.

As with all REDLINE TIME ATTACK events, spectators are invited to come watch the intense motorsports action as the fiercest time trial machines and drivers race to the clouds on July 1, 2006 at the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb!

*******************************

We have been receiving many phone calls and email from teams/tuners/drivers interested in participating. With only 24 spots to fill, we expect the event to fill up quickly. We will be posting the rules and registration information once the organizers at Pikes Peak agree to what we sent them. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at Info@RedlineTimeAttack.com or post questions here and Chris or I will answer them.

im a little concerned about the safety issues of people running streetcars there. But sounds like a good time

 

We will be running a revised set of safety rules for this event due to the inherent risks running on the lower paved portion of Pikes Peak. So we will not be accepting just any car for this event, proper safety equipment will be necessary.

Excellent to hear. I have to admit, I was a bit wary of you all when you first popped up, mainly due to what sounded like a possibility for majorly unsafe conditions. However, so far it sounds like everything has gone very smoothly and handled properly and professionally I'd run with you guys if I were on the West siiiii-ede

Were are you located?
We'll be at Summit Point in August, and we're at BeaveRun this May 13 & 14.
Also, look for us in 2007 to expand to the South East for sure. Perhaps the South and/or Canada as well...

 

When in August? I'm about an hour and half East of there, that's like my "home" track
