    The 2014 event will be run this weekend, 29 June. The foliowing article mentions live streaming, whether we get that or not who knows?

    That looks mean. I though the Peak was a mix of sealed and unsealed roads. If it still is, clip-ons!

    It used to be fully unsealed, within the past few years it has become fully sealed now. Still love the videos of Monster Tujima (spl?) caning the escudo up there

    search YouTube. John Woods posted his full run on a F2 and I posted my run on a motard sidecar (MX hack).

    John's run

    Unfortunately Scott Whitney's run on a V-Rod powered rally hack has been blocked.

    That was last year when he decided to start working in forestry

    If it has a 1000cc motor in it then it's an F1

    Not according to the west coast USA rules! They group all sidecars into one class and almost all run liter motors.

    The east coast sidecar guys tend to be closer to the established FIM and CMRC or HMRA rules.

    Also - At Pike's Peak, there are very few sidecar rules; three wheels and no super/turbo charging. I've often thought a F2 with a 'Busa race motor, 10" rear tire, etc would be the ticket.

    There's one that was racing here like that until a crash and now it is awaiting a rebuild, personally I think the Busa motor is to big and heavy compared to the GSXR1000 engines

    F1 here is short or long bikes up to 1300cc and F1 was always short bikes up until the 1980s

    Pity Johnny couldn't make it to Pikes peak this year
