Pike's Peak Update
Recently Tim attended the Pike's Peak Hillclimb in Colorado - our sister event.
'The Event blew me away... I couldn't believe the scale of it. The road is amazing. It goes from tarmac to dirt, to tarmac and finishes on dirt. In the next few years the entire road is being sealed, which will guarantee that the current record (10:01.4 seconds) will be smashed by a minute or so. Marcus Gronholm was competing in a Fiesta and the event was won by 'Monster' Tajima. I'm going back next year and am looking for a few extras to join me who want to experience Pike's Peak first hand or who would like to compete in the future......
 
Lake Mountain update
We are pleased to announce that the next running of the Lake Mountain Sprint will be held at the end of March 2010. Most of the infrastructure at Lake Mountain was destroyed in the fires and the rebuilding program should be completed over the summer months. After the devastation of the Black Saturday bushfires and the resulting damage to infrastructure, accommodation in Marysville is virtually nonexistent and as such we have organised accommodation in surrounding areas. The local community is keen to host the event again and we are looking forward to supporting the businesses affected by the bushfires in and around Marysville. Please pencil this into your diary as we will be limiting entry numbers would love to see all of you up there."
