Showoff of the Week: Chris' Ford Mustang

Tomorrow morning, I’m going to hop a plane to Colorado Springs to cover the famous Pikes Peak International Hillclimb, and I’m super stoked. The stats on this race are insane: 11 different classes, 12.42 miles of pavement and gravel, 156 turns, and an elevation change of almost 5000 feet. Everything from motorcycles to big rigs—yup, big rigs—competes in this event, and teams come from all over the world to challenge "America’s Mountain." The current course record of 10:01 was set last year by Nobuhiro ‘Monster’ Tajima in a hyper-modified Suzuki XL7, and the big question is whether anyone will break the ten minute mark during Sunday’s race. Of course, the previous record of 10.04 stood for an impressive 13 years, so there’s no guarantee that anyone is going to take the title away from ‘Monster’ anytime soon. And while the competition is sure to be awesome, since the race is held on National Forrest Service property, the scenery will be amazing. Just check out the gorgeous photo below! Stay tuned, I’ll start posting updates just as soon as I can.
